Italo-Latin American Institute (IILA)

For this year’s 52nd edition, to (2007 Venice Biennale) the IILA Pavilion will be 16th-century Palazzo Zenobio near Campo Santa Margherita, one of the finest examples of Venetian baroque architecture. The chosen theme is summed up by a single word: Territorios, Territories. The leitmotif will be the idea of territory as a given, circumscribed space shaping us as persons and reflected in everything we do and create. But, beyond this geographical sense of the term, various other aspects will be explored such as the concept of nation, history, nature, politics, domestic space and childhood.
