Gianfranco Ferré Research Centre
The Politecnico di Milano opens the doors to the designer's archive
On the occasion of Fuorisalone2022, the Politecnico di Milano opens the doors of the Gianfranco Ferré Research Centre located within the "Tortona 37" complex designed by Matteo Thun in 2002. The Gianfranco Ferré Research Centre, Digital Innovation for Creative and Cultural Industries was established in December 2021 by the Politecnico di Milano following the Ferré family's donation of the archive and headquarters of the historic Gianfranco Ferré Foundation. It will be possible to visit the space of the former Foundation designed by architect Franco Raggi, and learn about the precious archive recognised as heritage "of particular cultural interest" by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities - Archival Superintendence for Lombardy, which has become part of the Historical Archives system of the Politecnico di Milano.
