History and architecture
In the production sector that developed in Milan in the 20s, the area once occupied by Riva Calzoni has been reconverted: the industrial buildings have given way to new residences and a fenced garden which enriches the offer of public greenery in the neighbourhood.
Not far from the garden is the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, a prestigious exhibition space dedicated to contemporary art located in the splendid industrial building of Riva Calzoni.
