The Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum has announced the second chapter of ‘Leo Lionni and Friends’, titled ‘From Genoa to Milan’. The announcement was published on the museum’s X account on 18 August 2026 and gives the chapter’s historical focus as the 1930s Second Futurist art movement and print media.

The brief post presents the chapter as part of the wider ‘Leo Lionni and Friends’ exhibition or series, but does not provide dates, venue information, opening hours or details of the works on view. It also does not state whether the programme is being held at the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. The museum’s post links to the announcement on X rather than to a dedicated exhibition page.

The title places the chapter’s geographical frame between Genoa and Milan. Beyond that framing, the available source material does not specify the relationship between those cities, Lionni’s work and the Second Futurist movement, or identify the artists, publications or objects included in the presentation.

The announcement is accompanied by mouse and art-themed emojis and the hashtag ‘#LeoLionniAndFriends’. No curatorial statement, quotations or additional biographical information about Leo Lionni appears in the post.

Because no event date range is supplied, the timing of the chapter and the duration of the broader ‘Leo Lionni and Friends’ programme remain unconfirmed. The available announcement identifies only the chapter title and its stated subject: the 1930s Second Futurist art movement and print media.
