(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 14 - What kind of debate can we encourage on the urban landscape and sustainable economies? And what role can art play in building a better world?

The artist called by the curator Eugenio Viola to tell about Italy at the next Biennale, which opens on April 23 in Venice.

"An evocative title that refers precisely to our uncertain present", explains Viola who with Tosatti, born in 1980, boasts over ten years of friendship and collaboration.


    Tosatti cites Pasolini in the editorial on the disappearance of the pups - it was 1975 and already then the economic crisis and environmental crisis were issues on the agenda - and then returns to the present day with Russia and Ukraine on the brink of a war: "50 years have passed and we are still committed to the same issues, we are not evolving ".

Then he remembers Anna Maria Ortese and her impulse to optimism, "designing a way out of the dark is an iron duty", he says, remembering the words.

Therefore, in his project of him, he explains, there will be the story of a night, or the failure of the dream of the economic boom, but also a second act of hope that ends with "an ending that indicates a path of evolution".
