The Italian Consulate in New York has opened the doors to “Italy and The New Yorker Across a Century” — a visual tribute to Italy as seen, imagined, evoked, or signed on the covers of the iconic American magazine across a hundred years of publishing history.

The covers of The New Yorker don’t chase headlines. They’re more like visual haikus—sometimes wry, sometimes wistful, always packed with narrative power, yet delivered without a single word. At the heart of the exhibition are works by Italian illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti, a long-time contributor to the magazine.
