Galleria Allegra Ravizza, in collaboration with the Diehl Gallery in Berlin, is pleased to present a historical-chronological research that traces the fundamental stages of the history of art with the aim of explaining and illustrating to the public the historical-artistic path and processes that led to our contemporary.

The project therefore provides for the exhibition of a collection of the galleries that traces the twentieth century, proposed in a chronological order between the Allegra Ravizza Gallery and the Diehl Gallery booths and told through the use of multimedia content. In the first post-war period, the economic and industrial recovery and the return to everyday life allowed the birth of numerous groups and artistic currents including the Zero Group in Germany, the Arte Povera and Kinetic Art in Italy and Pop Art and Fluxus in America and in following in Italy. In the following years, Conceptual Art, Soft Art, Informal and Analytical Painting, Digital Art and many other artistic currents were born.
