Giorgio Milani. Babele

The Biblioteca Comunale Teresiana in Mantua hosts, from June 27 to September 19, 2026, 'Babele', the first solo exhibition in Mantua by Giorgio Milani (Piacenza, 1946). The exhibition brings together about 70 works that explore the relationship between writing and image, with a focus on language, communication, and graphic signs.
