The Studio at Monte Olimpino was set up in 1962 as an experimental cinema workshop in Monte Olimpino near Como and continued to function until 1972. The retrospective presents a broad selection of films spawned by collaborative partnership between the great artist, designer and paedogogue Bruno Munari (Milan, 1907 – 1998) and Marcello Piccardo (Genoa, 1914 – Como, 1999), a tireless experimenter in the world of film and television.

Their output was a milestone in Italian experimental cinema and helped to weave the background fabric for the video art that was to come after it.
