A volume dedicated to Palazzo Citterio towards the Great Brera is presented in Milan tomorrow

Tomorrow, April 18, 2018, at 5:30 p.m., the presentation of the volume "Palazzo Citterio verso la Grande Brera," an ideal sequel to "Il caso Palazzo Citterio," edited by Antonella Ranaldi, Paolo Savio, and Annamaria Terafina for Skira editore, will be held at Palazzo C itterio.

The restoration and re-functionalization works of Palazzo Citterio have come to an end, and with them comes the end of the complex “case” of this building, which has been dragging on between alternating fortunes for about forty years.
Palazzo Citterio was purchased by the state in 1972 and was immediately considered as an indispensable addition for the expansion and modernization of the Brera Art Gallery, providing it with adequate services and giving ample space to the twentieth-century works that it was counted on to acquire from Milanese collectors. The unfolding of the project, however, over the years encountered various obstacles such as a series of oppositions, unforeseen technical lawsuits and financial difficulties.

The volume to be presented, therefore, recounts in detail the story of the “Palazzo Citterio case,” documenting the project, the construction site, and the long season of restoration from the 1970s to the present, with photos and contributions by Carla Di Francesco(And here, at last, is Palazzo Citterio!), Caterina Bon Valsassina(The case of Palazzo Citterio: the last act), Alberto Artioli(Programs, projects, interventions: a difficult path to deliver the Palace to the community), Amerigo Restucci(The project, the building site), Giovanni Carbonara(A long season of restorations), Antonella Ranaldi(Under the sign of Hermes. The good end of a travail), the After the works section illustrated by Maurizio Montagna ’s photographs and Annamaria Terafina’s Chronology.

Andrea Kerbaker, writer and director of “Tempo di Libri,” Lorenzo Degli Esposti, architect and author of MCM. Milan Capital of the Modern, Carolina Di Biase, Milan Polytechnic and Antonella Ranaldi, ABAP Superintendent Milan. Admission is free while places last.
