      Made in Italy Graphic Design

      During the years of the economic boom, Italian graphic design played a key role in the establishment of an entrepreneurial culture and aesthetic product quality. Side by side with companies and designers, graphic designers such as Enrico Ciuti, Giulio Confalonieri, Ilio Negri, Michele Provinciali, Pino Tovaglia, Dante Bighi, Franco Maria Ricci, Bob Noorda, Albe Steiner, Mimmo Castellano, Massimo Vignelli, Giancarlo Iliprandi and many others were able to represent the true nature of this system, designing trademarks, logotypes, catalogues, invitations, ads and advertising pages. Extraordinary works that have left their mark on the history of graphic design and communication.

        The Fund was established over time in order to be the driving force behind a series of exhibition initiatives on the theme curated by AIAP, beginning in 2010 in Milan and Civitanova Marche.
        The exhibition has also been showcased on an international level in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Segovia, Bratislava, Copenhagen, and New York.
        Materials flow into the Fund from other Funds registered in the names of individual designers.
