With the arrival of spring and the Easter 2025 holidays, Italy reaffirms itself not only as a destination for religious and nature tourism, but also as an open-air museum for lovers of contemporary architecture.
If you’re looking for an original destination for an Easter weekend filled with beauty, design, and culture, here is a selection of must-see works from north to south.

Fondazione Prada – Milan (Lombardy)

Architects: OMA (Rem Koolhaas)
A true icon of contemporary design. The gold-covered “Haunted House” and regenerated industrial spaces perfectly interact with the art exhibitions. A visit here is ideal for those who want to combine shopping, culture, and architecture in one of the world’s design capitals.

MAXXI – Rome (Lazio)

Architect: Zaha Hadid
A futuristic, flowing masterpiece in the heart of Rome. The MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts – is a must-see for lovers of art and innovative architecture. Perfect for those seeking a different kind of Easter, immersed in both modernity and history.

Messner Mountain Museum Corones – Plan de Corones (South Tyrol)

Architect: Zaha Hadid
Suspended between earth and sky at 2,275 meters above sea level, nestled in the rock, this museum designed by Zaha Hadid for Reinhold Messner is one of the most spectacular destinations for an Easter day trip. Its integration with the natural landscape is a perfect example of sustainable and site-specific architecture.

Church of the Holy Face – Turin (Piedmont)

Architect: Mario Botta
A reinterpretation of contemporary spirituality through architecture. Stark lines, exposed brick, and pure geometries create a mystical and powerful space. A perfect destination for Easter, blending sacred art and modern design.

Auditorium Parco della Musica – Rome (Lazio)
