The Cause

Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli is one of the biggest European historical, political, economical and social research centers. Founded in 1949, it actively works to rethink the cultural and social role by creating synergies among research, politics and enterpreneurs to make Milan more active and more aware.

Its cultural assets - freely available to everyone - include 1.5 million archived books, with 250,000 volumes and 17,000 magazines, covering a time span from the XVI to the XXI century. This heritage is a muse for the foundation, and it inspires it to live the present being aware of the past and conscious of what brought us here, and to look at the future with different eyes.
