"Twenty years ago in Milan, Tortona area was a suburb with warehouses that employed many workers, such as Riva- Calzoni, General Electric, Osram, Nestlè, etc., gradually emptied. It seemed that the disappearance of these industries which produced important artifacts left a desert. No one, not even I who had chosen it first, could imagine that after our photographic studios and with Superstudio Più’s introduction other model agencies, fashion companies, event management, museums and therefore hotels, restaurants, temporary shops and many other activities could make this area the smartest and most innovative in Milan. Superstudio was the first light bulb, the first light that subsequently multiplied to illuminate this area and attract fashion world, design, and all those activities that today contribute to make Milan the driving force city of Italy. The next step is another exhibition venue in an even more suburban neighborhood, sure that we will bring culture and new interest there too...
