Only a part of 7000 sqm has been recovered in order to offer young entrepreneurs, creative professionals and artists a supportive environment that stimulates the growth of projects, ideas and collaborations, in order to enhance the best talents and proposals. The whole structure will be completed next year with a section dedicated to the Made in Italy and the construction of decorative objects made ​​from recycled materials, becoming a real point of reference for planners and designers.
