Some of the claims about mutual influence do occasionally add to the exhibition's content.
For example, we learn early on that, in the 1520s, the Naples-born architect Aristotele Fioravanti designed and helped construct the main Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin.
And, perhaps most convincingly of all, the exhibition's final room sets up a dialogue between the Russian and Italian varieties of the dynamic, experimental movement of Futurism.

Although the Syuyumbike tower appears to have been built in the late 17th — early 18th century, it may be a replica of a much older tower.
If, as some claim, the original tower appeared in the late 15th century, it is theoretically possible that its real designer was one of the Italian architects who made the Moscow Kremlin what it is (Aristotele Fioravanti, Pietro Antonio Solari, Marco Ruffo, Aloiso of Milan, Aloiso the Young, etc.).
