The news of the week

Milan, 7 December 2020 - Innovation: the “Connect the school - Light the future” project has started. The idea, born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Milan, the Banca Popolare di Milano Foundation and the Metropolitan City, will allow the strengthening of connectivity in 272 Milanese public schools, thanks to the donation of 255 thousand euros by the banking institution.
Last summer, the same partner had already guaranteed the supply of 240 devices to Milanese students, demonstrating great sensitivity to the issue of the right to education in a phase in which, especially the youngest, they need to stay connected.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: temporary shops and other forms of economic refreshment for the "Salotto" shops. The guidelines for supporting the commercial activities of the monumental complex overlooking Piazza Duomo have been approved.   
For the period October 2020 - June 2021, it will be possible to both allocate a part of the commercial surface area to the activation of temporary shops and expand the product categories on sale.
This possibility is accompanied by further support formulas: no change of control or duplication of fees for companies that will strengthen their capital structure; extension of the 10% discount on the concession fee to historic multi-window shops; adjustment of the methods for determining the starting price to guarantee speed and efficiency in the rotation of expiring commercial businesses.
