A key moment in the development of contemporary art is examined as part of the project: the formation of various independent artistic groups that evolved in Italy during the exhibition GRUPPO ZERO AND ITALIAN AVANT-GARDE OF THE 1960s analyses the creative relations which united major players in the art scene, during the most striking period of 20th-century Italian art.

An inherent part of the exhibition is educational potential, thanks to the inclusion of archive materials (documents, manifestos, photographs), as well as various sections that reveal creative and personal relations between the most significant artists of postwar Italy.
