NEW! A Saturday afternoon in the quiet and elegant residential district of Fopponino in the footsteps of the great architect Gio Ponti (Milan, 1891 – 1979).
We will start from his house in via Dezza 49 and from there we will move between the streets Caravaggio – Letizia, to discover the Domus Aurelia, Flavia, Livia, Onoria and Serena, important examples of his reflection on living.
