During two weekends in February (16-17 and 23- 24), five ATM buses (partner-company in the project) will be running a route of eight stops where citizens can learn more about Ponti’s architecture and its context with the help of two students from Milan Polytechnic’s Architecture and Society Faculty who will be acting as tour guides. There will be a bus every 20 minutes between 10am and 4pm.
Anyone can take part, getting on and off at the stop nearest their home. More information can be found at www.domusweb.it and on the website of the Milan City Council, which will be sponsoring the initiative through the council’s Culture and Tourism office. The initiative will be presented, together with the February issue of Domus dedicated to Gio Ponti, at a press conference to be held at the Pirelli tower, seat of the Lombardy regional government. Radio Monte Carlo will be following the event with interviews and informative contributions. Silvia Monaco
