PRATO One month before the reopening of the Centro Pecci, the first centre dedicated to contemporary art in Italy, it is its architect to tell us three important things about this place, meant as a space for all contemporary arts but above all as a public space. In fact, architect Maurice Nio addresses us – citizens of Prato, Tuscany, Italy, Europe, World: in this short video, he launches three messages, including a very curious invitation… 🙂
