Mosaics in Milan in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century
This itinerary retraces the mosaics created in Milan between 1950 and 1999, following a chronological route that connects the city centre with its outlying districts. From historic workshops to works by artists such as Lucio Fontana and Roberto Sambonet, the route narrates the season of the "synthesis of the arts" within the climate of postwar reconstruction.
Through façades, entrance halls, and at times unexpected urban spaces, mosaic becomes a key to interpreting the architectural and cultural transformation of the city.
This itinerary is taken from the volume Mosaici a Milano nel secondo Novecento by Simone Feneri, published by Archivio Dedalus Edizioni. The publication reconstructs, with a historical-critical approach, the dialogue between art and architecture in post-war Milan, through a detailed mapping of the main mosaic works from 1950 to 1999. The route proposed here offers a significant selection, designed to guide visitors in discovering a heritage that is often hidden but fundamental to understanding the artistic identity of the city.
