Owing to their extraordinary quality, the models of Cagliari have been requested for temporary exhibitions held in prestigious Institutions such as the Villette (Paris), the National Science Museum (Tokyo), the Hayward Gallery (London), the Triennale (Milan), the Marciana Library (Venice) et cetera.
