Aldo Rossi. The theatre of the world, 1979-2004

The double life of one of the most famous works of the italian architect Aldo Rossi. In 1979 the Biennale di Teatro e Architettura di Venezia assigned to Rossi the construction of a floating theatre like the ones builded in Venezia in the XVI Century. Like a modern Fitzcarraldo, projected a building wich challenged in beuty the venetian archiectures and in strenght the sea and the winds during a legendary navigation to Dubrovnik. Forgotten for long time, the Teatro del Mondo has been builded again in Genova in the late 2004, for the exhibition “Art and Architecture” by Germano Celant. Some of the most important names of the contemporary architecture contemporanea (Aulenti, Liebeskind, Hollein, Portoghesi) tell us this story.
