On the occasion of Italian Design Day, the Italian Cultural Institute and the Italian Embassy in Helsinki are organising a conference entirely dedicated to the master of Italian design Achille Castiglioni. The conference has been titled 'If you are not curious, leave it alone' in honour of a famous phrase Castiglioni used to repeat, and will feature the curator and Vice President of the Achille Castiglioni Foundation, Giovanna Castiglioni, as patron and keynote speaker.
Daughter of Italian design master Achille Castiglioni, Giovanna Castiglioni became curator of the Achille Castiglioni Studio Museum and in 2012 was appointed Vice President and Secretary General of the Achille Castiglioni Foundation. Today she organises and coordinates the Foundation's activities, in particular the archiving of its unique cultural heritage.
The lecture takes place today at 5 p.m. at the Museum of Design in Helsinki, in cooperation with the Museum of Architecture.
