The project transforms Rimini’s historic public space of the municipal oven into an exhibition garden that can host contemporary art sculptures and that can put them “in dialogue” through an innovative museographic project.
La Triennale di Milano appointed AR.CH.IT Luca Cipelletti the Artistic Direction of “Back To Muzio” a project that, over the coming years of renovation and restoration, aims to rediscover the remarkable spatial qualities of the original building designed in the 30s by Giovanni Muzio.

“Art and Architecture in conversation. A triplet of mirrors seemed to reflect into infinity, although, in fact, it was cutouts in the walls bringing the three rooms together”(Suzy Menkes, The New York Times)
“To counterbalance the visual vertigo of the living room – two glass sides that literally enter the landscape in the house – the designer has created a box effect by coating the walls, floors, ceiling, which makes the space more soft and welcoming” (Sara Banti, LIVING 2014 – Corriere della Sera)

“A brilliant dialogue between art, design, architecture and landscape that promotes history to the future” – “The result of a virtuous meet between a passionate architect, Luca Cipelletti and a master of contemporary art, David Tremlett…a dialogue as a total project, built on correspondences between art, architecture and design” (Francesca Taroni – Filippo Romeo, LIVING 6 – 2014 – Corriere della Sera)
