Padiglione Intesa Sanpaolo

The pavilion, designed by Michele De Lucchi, with wood interiors, is characterized by a covering made according to an ancient technique of building with shingles.

Intesa Sanpaolo pavilion is a multi-sensory, immersive and interactive exhibition space, a structure that overlooks the Decuman of nearly 1,000 square meters, designed by Michele De Lucchi.

It is built with green and recyclable materials, which are inspired by natural elements and evoke the themes of ecology and sustainable development. It is characterized by a covering made according to an ancient technique of building with “shingles”, which uses traditional grooved wood pieces.

Inside Intesa Sanpaolo’s exhibition space there will be a piece from the group’s collection Officine a Porta Romana by Umberto Boccioni. The exhibition will enhance the work and the artistic path, creating an event of great visual impact thanks to interactive projections that celebrate the painting. In addition there is an art installation by Studio Azzurro, which expresses in a poetic way the values of the Bank.
