The ITA.CA project is part of the Italian Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2025. Included in the exhibition project “Terrae Aquae. Italy and the Intelligence of the Sea,” curated by Guendalina Salimei, the project investigates the Italian coastal landscape through a visual reflection on territory, water, and transformation.

ITA.CA is an experimental project conceived as the front page of a fictional newspaper, yet with real dimensions and graphic settings. Through its contents, it serves as a visual and narrative prototype for a concrete initiative, exploring how architecture and technology can come together to develop sustainable solutions for the marine environment. The page becomes a means of communication and reflection on the importance of innovative solutions for sustainability and research.

The date of the newspaper includes only day and month, emphasizing its timelessness. The articles’ themes reflect a project that could belong to the present, the future, or a time already passed, reminding us of the urgency to act. ITA.CA goes beyond fiction, envisioning the design and construction of infrastructures, the development of technologies, and collaboration with coastal communities.
