We couldn’t be in person for this episode as Giovanna is based Milan where she runs and curates theFondazioneAchille Castiglioni, which she co-founded in 2006.


Giovanna initially pursued a degree in Geological Sciences, but she has dedicated her career to preserving and promoting her father's design legacy. Giovanna has aunique approach and engages a global audience through dynamic workshops to promote the ‘Castiglioni Method’ of design.


During the pandemic, she kept the Fondazione’s mission alive through remote learning and live sessions on social media, as well as producing aflipbook series called ‘Castiglioni in 2 seconds’.
