The Pirellone and a Sixty-year Celebration of Corporate and the Regional Government of Lombardy will officially open.

The exhibition tells the story of the skyscraper throug the exclusive view of the people who designed, made and lived it and through historical resources such as photos, pictures and archive footage, mostly coming from Pirelli’s historical Archive as well as the archives of Regione Lombardia.

The exhibition and its catalogue, “Skyscraper Stories”, published by Marsilio, was presented in December through an online presentation / digital preview using NEO’s [Narrative Environments Operas] multimedia content.

At the present time the contents of the exhibit are available on the website www.60grattacielopirelli.org.

Antonio Calabrò, Director of Pirelli Foundation, and the architect Alessandro Colombo are the curators of the project.

This initiative has been promoted by the Board and Council of Regione Lombardia along with the Pirelli Foundation and the support of Pirelli and FNM.
