“Step into the world of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana,
where magic and fantasy, legend and reality intertwine”
From 14th May to 13th August 2025, Dal Cuore Alle Mani: Dolce&Gabbana (From
the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana) arrives at Palazzo Esposizioni Roma where it opens in 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 redisigned 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 exhibition, promoted by the Assessorato alla Cultura di Roma Capitale and Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, under the patronage of Roma Capitale, produced and organised by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo with 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’.
