Embassy of Italy in Berlin

The venue

The Embassy of Italy stands at Hiroshimastraße 1 in Berlin's Tiergarten diplomatic quarter, a short walk from the Kulturforum and the southern edge of the Tiergarten park. The building is one of the large embassy structures of the 1930s diplomatic district, restored after German reunification and returned to use as the Italian mission to Germany.

Offsite Arts presents its first exhibition here in partnership with the Embassy. The choice of site is part of the exhibition: an Italian Baroque painting and a new contemporary sculpture are shown inside an Italian institution in Berlin, in working rooms rather than in a museum gallery.

The Embassy's palazzo is opened to the exhibition by H.E. Fabrizio Bucci, Ambassador of Italy to Germany. Presenting an Italian Baroque painting in the Italian mission in Berlin places the work inside the institution of the country it comes from, rather than in a neutral gallery.
