Comment: This exhibition presented the culmination of Ruggero Maggi's Mail Art activity, beginning in 1975 and centered on the Archivio Amazon project (started in 1979), which focused on themes of ecology, peace, and disarmament. The exhibition also featured a collective street performance titled Progetto Ombra (Shadow Project) on the opening day, May 6, 2023, in memory of the victims of nuclear holocaust and the war in Ukraine. The show dedicated a special section to the M.A.D. (Mail Art Day) in memory of Ray Johnson (October 16th).
