Casa di Elio Vittorini

Established in 1995 at the behest of Arnaldo Pomodoro, the Foundation was created to be a place of study and debate over the major issues and greatest contemporary avant-garde figures, and to act as a real cultural center, offering exhibitions, meetings, conferences, book presentations and concerts. It was officially recognised with the DM July 26, 1997, and was recognized as a museum by the Lombardy Region from 2007 to 2015. It has always had a venue where a direct relationship with the public could be maintained: after the experiences of Rozzano and Via Solari in Milan, from 2013 the activity has taken place in Via Vigevano 9, in a space adjacent to the Foundation's Archives and the Artist's Studio.

This small waterway, located next to the Porta Ticinese, is all that remains of the intricate system of canals and rivers that have crisscrossed the city of Milan since Roman times.
