This AIS/Design Journal: History and Research issue, edited by Fulvio Irace, is entirely devoted to the legendary exhibition “Italy: the New Domestic Landscape”, conceived and curated by Emilio Ambasz and held at MoMA New York in 1972.

It aims to provide new points of view and new documents on the origins and intentions of the show, its graphic restitution, the installations, the contributions welcomed in the catalog, the sponsorships and interference of institutions and companies, and to be also a tribute to its curator.
