Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin.

The New National Gallery, a world-class architectural icon, and the final and highlight of the life's work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This classic of modernism was built between 1965 and 1968. The Neue Nationalgalerie consistently implemented - like no other building - his idea of a support-free "universal space".

Sculpture by Alexander Calder (1898-1976), "Têtes et queue", 1965, steal. Sculpture by Joannis Avramidis (1922-2016), Polis, 1968, bronce.

RITORNO A CASA .The work, a metal traveller, placed in Piazzale Vittorio Veneto, Foggia, with his back to the station and his gaze towards the city, was inaugurated 2014. Leonardo Scarinzi, the artist, explains the meaning of the sculpture: a tribute to the people of Foggia who have decided to stay or return to their native land after months , years, decades of migrations to other places in the world. Even if it looks like it: this is not a photomontage. 

The train station was rebuilt after the war in 1951 on a project by the architect Roberto Narducci, re-proposing some architectural elements used by himself in the construction of the Roma Ostiense station. The new station was inaugurated on 13 May 1951 by the Undersecretary for Transport, Bernardo Mattarella, father of today's President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella.  Foto: © Wolfram Mikuteit
