In June the 40th anniversary from the establishment of the professional association AIPi is going to fall. An important moment we are willing to join to the five hundred years celebration from Andrea Palladio’s birth: architect, sculptor, great artist in the Italian arts history.
In the evening of June 26th we are going to have a celebratory party, in the wonderful setting of Villa Cordellina in Vicenza.
