ROME.- From 14 May to 13 August 2025, Dal Cuore Alle Mani: Dolce&Gabbana (From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana) opens at Palazzo Esposizioni Roma occupying the spaces designed by Pio Piacentini and inaugurated in 1883, a symbolic place of contemporary visual culture and shared heritage, the largest exhibition and cultural space in the centre of the capital. This follows its critical and public success in Milan and Paris where the exhibition was extended to meet increasing demand from audiences.

For its return to Italy the exhibition has been both redesigned and the story rethought for its new context, where Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s creations enter into dialogue with the neoclassical architectural structure, a unique setting for a journey not only through fashion, but also time, art, memory and material.

The display at Palazzo Esposizioni Roma features three new rooms. ‘The Art of Sardinia’ provides a tribute to the richness of the island’s unique traditional heritage and the beauty of its ancient megalithic architecture. ‘Anatomy of Tailoring’ pays homage to corsetry and the reshaping of the human body as an essential element in the cultural history of clothing. The third new room ‘Cinema’ celebrates this long-standing source of inspiration for the designers’ storytelling, with a special tribute to Giuseppe Tornatore’s unique art.

The exhibition, promoted by the Assessorato alla Cultura di Roma Capitale and Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, under the patronage of Roma Capitale, produced and organised by IMG and curated by Florence Müller with set design by Agence Galuchat, brings together over two hundred unique creations by Dolce&Gabbana, emblematic of the Italian style of Alta Moda.

A showcase of the brand’s unparalleled craftsmanship and artisanship, Dal Cuore Alle Mani: Dolce&Gabbana is an open love letter to the Italian culture that has always been the inspiration and muse of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s creations, tracing their extraordinary creative process - from the heart, from which ideas spring, to the hands, through which they take shape. The exhibition also includes the work of selected visual artists in dialogue with the creativity of Dolce&Gabbana.

The exhibition route unfolds in a succession of large immersive rooms covering an area of approximately 1,500 square metres, exploring the brand’s creative and unconventional approach to luxury - elegant, sensual and unique, but also ironic, irreverent and subversive. The creations are narrated through a series of themes that highlight the many Italian cultural influences at the roots of Dolce&Gabbana: from art to architecture, from artisanal craftsmanship to folklore, from music to Opera, Ballet, theatre and, of course, the ‘dolce vita’.
