“Riappropriazione”, presented by Converso, is an art installation at the church San Paolo Converso in Milan, Italy, that totally covers the inside of the church. Since the early 1970s the Italian artist Franco Mazzuchelli has created environmental installations, in which inflatable volumes of joined sheets of polyethylene are made walkable and livable. Depending on whether they are mounted in private interiors or outdoors, Mazzucchelli's installations are called Sostituzioni (substitutions) or Riappropriazioni (re-appropriations). Both are intended to alter the perception of a familiar space.

Franco Mazzucchelli (Milan, 1939) lives in Milan. He was professor of Techniques of Sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, in Milan. His works have been shown in historical exhibitions, including “Volterra ’73” (1973), the 15th Milan Triennale (1973), the 37th Venice Biennale (1976) and the 11th Rome Quadrennial (1986).

The church of San Paolo Converso is a converted church in the historic center of Milan. Since 2014 it is the headquarter of CLS architects. The architects use the church also for exhibitions, installations and events related to the art and design world.
