LA NUOVA FONDAZIONE/THE NEW FOUNDATION
Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation is one of the major European centers of research and documentation in the fields of historical, political, economic and social science.
The Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation’s new project, on Viale Pasubio, Milan, was founded with a specific aim: to become a hub, a platform of debate between different realms, domains and players. To provide a network of contacts, inspiration and a space for constructive listening.
Since 1949, the Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation has been developing research activities working towards creating bridges between hypotheses about the future and the resources within its own document archives, encouraging a learning from the past.
The Foundation also promotes a passionate investigation on issues at the core of this contemporary debate, combining research reflections with resources from its own heritage, in order to provide suggestions, images, texts and new tools for a possible future.
