MILAN (AP) A year after being postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Venice Biennale for architecture will open on May 22 for a six-month run under strict virus protocols, officials said Monday.
The exhibition will bring together 63 countries for the main show under the theme “How will we live together?”
