Also this year there will be several countries that will join those already present for the first time (Bahamas, Kingdom of Bahrain, Republic of Kosovo, Kuwait, Maldives, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Paraguay). The theme, said the curator Massimiliano Gioni, will be "The Encyclopedic palace”Inspired by Maurino Auriti's 1955 project of“ an imaginary museum that was supposed to house all the knowledge of humanity, collecting the greatest discoveries of mankind, from the wheel to the satellite ”. The exhibition will therefore exhibit contemporary works of art, historical artifacts, found objects and artifacts with the aim of structuring knowledge and shaping our experience of the world.
