The catalogue of the Italian Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, articulated in three distinct yet complementary volumes, is conceived as a contemporary portolano, a modern interpretation of a medieval nautical charts that, through skilled and imaginative draftsmanship, conveyed the intricacies of the ten-known world.

The first gathers theoretical essays and critical reflections, accompanied by authored photographic narratives that engage with the exhibition’s themes, suggesting interpretative and conceptual trajectories.

Together, these three volumes form an intellectual and emotional map, a critical device for navigating the “currents of the sea” of contemporaneity.
