Italy in Fashion: Andrea Varani photographic exhibition at MAXXI

From 14 May to 7 June 2026 the MAXXI in Rome presents "Italy in Fashion", a photographic project by Andrea Varani that pairs designer garments with Italian landscapes.

• Where: MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Arts, Via Guido Reni 4, Rome.
• When: 14 May 2026 - 7 June 2026.
• Works on display: 48 photographs.
• Artist: Andrea Varani.
• Model: Ludmilla Voronkina Bozzetti.

The series stems from more than a year of photographic work across Italy, from the Dolomites to the south, with garments by maisons such as Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli and Etro that serve as narrative elements reflecting identity, tradition and place.

Themes and approach: Varani adopts a pared-down, authentic visual language: images avoid forced theatricality and focus instead on the harmony between body, clothing and environment. Presented at MAXXI, the project invites a critical reading of fashion images within a contemporary exhibition space.

Practical tips for visiting:

• Check opening hours and ticketing on MAXXI's official website before your visit.
• The exhibition suits both fashion photography enthusiasts and contemporary art audiences.
• Allocate 30–45 minutes to read captions and appreciate the contextual details in each image.

This exhibition frames Italian fashion as a cultural language able to narrate communities and landscapes, beyond mere aesthetic display.
