Marco Peronaci, the Italian ambassador to the United States, opened the exhibition "Depero. Graphics: Between Italy and the United States" in Washington. The exhibition, dedicated to futurist Fortunato Depero, will run in the Italian Embassy until January 30, 2026. Ambassador Peronaci elaborated, "Depero served as a conduit between Italy and the United States; this exhibition brilliantly underscores the profound bond that fostered cultural dialogue and mutual contamination between our nations for the past century and beyond". The show, which features approximately fifty works on display in the embassy's halls—drawings, collages, and paintings—focuses on Trentino-born Depero's (1892-1960) pioneering role in combining art, design, and communication. It also emphasizes his extraordinary connection to the United States: during his stay in New York from 1928 to 1930, the artist created famous covers for the magazines "Vanity Fair" and "The New Yorker", collaborated with advertising agencies and designers, and introduced Futurism to American audiences.
