Unfinished Italy
by Benoit Felici, France 2011, ’34, Italian, English subtitled
MAXXI Piazza, Spazio YAP – admittance free
A foray into the unfinished, Italy’s most prominent architectural style between the end of WWII and the present day. Stadiums without audiences, hospitals without patients, theatres that after 50 years have not yet seen their premiere: buildings given up on halfway through their construction, fallen into ruin before they were ever used, are an integral part of the Italian architectural landscape. These ruins, whose future has already passed and whose present carries the taste of an eternal wait, act as an invitation to meditate about time.
