Aldo Rossi was invited to take a ‘second’ look at the set of his drawings chosen for the 1987 diary, to redraw and color them, reinterpreting them in light of his work since the 1960s until now. The upshot was this stimulating group of aesthetically charged artifacts, placed on exhibit at the Galleria L’Archivolto from 26 November 1986 to 10 January 1987, in which both form and technique conspire to create images that are both retrospective and contemporary.
