UniCredit’s new multifunctional structure is located in Piazza Gae Aulenti, adjacent to the Group's headquarters. It is not just an auditorium, not just a venue for events and conferences, not just an exhibition space, but all of these things at once. Its different roles have been seamlessly blended together, thanks to the ingenious modular configuration of the building’s spaces. The ceremony was attended by UniCredit Chairman Giuseppe Vita, Chief Executive Officer Federico Ghizzoni, President of the Lombardy Regional Authority Roberto Maroni, and architect Michele De Lucchi, the structure’s designer. The ribbon cutting inaugurated a building that is unique in all of Italy. At the press conference, artist Dorothée Selz provided a taste of her new work “Nutriamo la Fantasia” (“We Nourish the Imagination”), a collection of edible sculptures, specially created for the inauguration of the pavilion in collaboration with several leading Italian chefs, coordinated by the renowned Carlo Cracco. At the ceremony Mr. Vita said, “Today we present this pavilion, which will serve as a vital place for discussion, participation and experimentation, to Milan, the city with which we have been linked for more than one hundred years.

  • The Medici Family- Powerful Patrons
    The medici family- Powerful patrons Banking on interest Florence became a hub of Renaissance society, housing artists, poets, and scholars alike. Florence’s location on the network of trade routes that led to the Silk Road made it a major trading post, hosting merchants from as far as Asia and Africa. Since many of these traders had different types of coinage, they traded them out for the florin, the golden coin used by Italians. Large families of Florence took advantage of this need, becoming wealthy off the money exchange and later, the interest fees from loans. The most powerful banking family in Florence were the Medici Family. With their wealth from banking, the Medici family built great government buildings, public works of art, and their own Palazzi (palace). They also commissioned artists (paid artists) to create many works of art, writing, and music. Their home was a gathering place for forward thinkers and creators of the Renaissance. They became patrons, or financial sponsors, for famous Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Sandro Botticelli. They also built a great army to defend their wealth, city, and power. The Medici Family are notorious for the ruthless ways they maintained their power. They often killed off any threats or competition. At the height of their rule in Florence, they were wealthier than most European Kings, and they eventually owned multiple branches throughout Europe of the Medici Bank, which serviced the Catholic Church of Rome. Lavish beginnings As Florence grew in power due to its banking as a central trade stop during the Renaissance, the wealthy Italian families that lived there began to “renew” public buildings and build their own.
