The “Gruglie della Grande Milano” Awarded. Calabrò, Brambilla and Postiglione the Winners

The “Grandi Guglie della Grande Milano” awards were presented yesterday, an initiative promoted this morning by the Centro Studi Grande Milano , chaired by Daniela Mainini , at the Aula Magna of the State University of Milan . The winners of the award were Antonio Calabrò , president of the Assolombarda Foundation and Museimpresa, Marina Brambilla, rector of the State University, and the journalist Venanzio Postiglione .

"Milan - said Calabrò - is experiencing a complex historical situation. It risks becoming an urban area for 'city users': people who, deep down, do not feel the city as their own. They are not 'cives', that is, citizens, who make the place where they live a profound reason for belonging, where their life project takes shape. And yet, the peculiarity of Milan , throughout history, has always been its capacity for inclusion ; its ability to provide concrete answers to the questions that, little by little, were posed by its population. A characteristic that, today, we risk losing: we therefore need prompt interventions from politics and culture".
