Rude, the Biennale discriminates against Russians, the government is unaware

"The reasons for the exclusion of Russian architects are not understood. Any discrimination with respect to creativity is unjust".

Thus the Undersecretary for Culture

comments on the presentation of the Architecture Biennale.

"I add that there has been no dialogue with the government, involving the Ministry of Culture, to lead to this discriminatory choice which should be decided or shared by the government, and not by the presidency of the Biennale. And for the delegation that concerns me I don't know about it. Politics - adds Sgarbi - must not interfere but neither should it be overridden".
