'Il Pane e le Rose' ('Bread and Roses'), a reflection on Expo theme at the Fondazione Pomodoro

With its 'Bread and Roses' exhibition the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro reflects on the theme of Expo 2015, highlighting the human need to feed both body and spirit.
The expression ‘Bread and Roses’, coined by Marx, taken up by the American suffragettes and adopted by the workers movement from 1912, masterfully sums up the need to associate bread with the deep desire to be nourished with affective ties and projects, and roses with the necessity to cultivate passions, to acquire knowledge, to weave social relationships.
