Abstract:

The climax of the Cold War in Europe at the beginning of the 1950s was manifested by more than just the suspension of political and economic contacts between countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain. It also involved a confrontation in the field of culture, which was increasingly subordinated to “great politics.” One of the incidents of this cold war was the exhibition “Al di là,” which opened in Italy in 1953 and brought controversy not only to the country’s internal politics, but also to Rome’s relations with the countries of the Eastern Bloc, including Poland. The present article focuses on these internal Italian contexts and the role of the exhibition in Polish-Italian relations.
