Italy
MiBACT, the Italian Ministry for Cultural Affairs and Tourism, emphasizes the importance of making the quality of a project an essential condition for sustainable transformations of the territory, linking new economic and social development with safeguarding cultural heritage. The Ministry has nominated Cino Zucchi, a leading exponent in contemporary architecture, as the curator for the Italy Pavilion at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition. The project focuses on examining the subject of Fundamentals and the essential elements of architecture over the past 100 years.

Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.
Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
