There is an important historical reasons that the Canadian Pavilion is built by an Italian. Since 1958, artists representing Canada have shown their work in the Canadian pavilion, built from war reparation funds as part of the Canada-Italy Cultural Agreement signed in 1954. The pavilion was built under the direction of the National Gallery of Canada by famed Milanese architect Enrico Peressuti, of the Studio Architetti BBPR. The National Gallery of Canada still retains custodianship of the Canadian pavilion on behalf of Canada.
