PLESSI MUSEUM: A CULTURAL PIT-STOP ON THE MOTORWAY


ltvs-plessimuseum-1






At the Brenner Pass, where once stood customs between Italy and Austria - a place of exchanges and encounters, but also of divisions - rises Plessi Museum, that hosts inside it a permanent exposition space dedicated to Fabrizio Plessi (born in 1940), an artist from Emilia but raised in Venice who is famous for his video-installations.



The building, designed by engineer Carlo Costa (director of the Brenner motorway), is the first museum space on a highway in Italy and wants to be a symbol (in its architecture and the works on display), connecting the Latin world with the Germanic one.
