On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, AIAP CDPG participated on April 24 in Common Archive • La Notte Bianca del Progetto 2026, opening the doors of its archive at the AIAP headquarters (Via Amilcare Ponchielli 3, Milan).
The initiative Manifesti e artefatti liberati dai 120 fondi d’archivio (Posters and Artefacts from the 120 Archival Collections), curated by Lorenzo Grazzani and Dario Carta, featured two talks, an exhibition, and a viewing of a selection of materials (posters, printed matter, sketches) on the themes of political posters (in honour of April 25) and graphic design for Made in Italy (in honour of the Milano Design Week).
Common Archive allowed Milan’s historical design and architecture archives to open their doors to the public for one evening, coming together for the first time. An initiative of the Salone del Mobile Observatory in collaboration with the School of Design at the Politecnico di Milano, dedicated to a living heritage that belongs to the city but speaks to the world.
