This exhibition will be one of a series of events held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio. Arduino Cantàfora, architect, artist, and long-term collaborator of Aldo Rossi, is one of the leading lights at the Academy who has worked there for many years. His classes are a very personal, enlightening and stimulating way of interpreting the role of the teacher, of the "maestro"; this is reflected in the title of the exhibition, whose main objective is to underline the great importance of the teacher in the learning process.
The display focuses on a selection of works by Cantàfora, the artist, and by his students who have taken part in various workshops he has held at the Academy in recent years.
