The story
Live from the Fonderia Napoleonica Eugenia, green building met the world of architecture. An exchange of ideas, experiences and emotions, all converging towards the creation of a system able to respond to a modern concept of quality of living and dwelling. The challenge is to combine sustainability and comfort: to align science, technique and culture with the desire to experience the good and the beautiful in spaces. The panel discussion featured leading figures of Italian architecture: Alfonso Femia, Flavia Brenci, Simone Gheduzzi, Mino Caggiula, Nicola Leonardi and Nicola Zucca.
