Fondazione Prada Launches Osservatorio Photography Space In Milan

The Fondazione Prada in Milan has opened a new exhibition space called Osservatorio, a cultural center dedicated to photography and visual languages.

Organized by Francesco Zanot -- curator at CAMERA, the Italian Center for Photography n Turin -- Osservatorio's first exhibition is 'Give Me Yesterday'.

Osservatorio—which joins the Fondazione’s Rem Koolhaas designed space in Milan and a space in Venice—is located in Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, on the fifth and sixth floors of a building that has been restored from bomb damage dating from the Second World War and turned into an impressive 800-square-meter space.

The new photography space overlooks the glass dome designed by Giuseppe Mengoni that covers the arcade in the Galleria.
