Inaugurated in 1957, the Hotel della Città is a beautiful and prestigious architectural work commissioned by the great and generous Forlì businessman and publisher Aldo Garzanti from the famous architect Gio Ponti. The complex was conceived by Aldo Garzanti as the headquarters of the Livio and Maria Garzanti Foundation and as a “home for artists”, i.e. a place of hospitality and work for artists, men of letters and men of science. The Hotel della Città is also a place that fully expresses Gio Ponti’s design. In fact, it is a testimony of tradition and modernity, of history and design, of elite culture and everyday life. It is therefore an exemplary work of 20th century architecture, and at the same time a manifesto of the generosity of a great man from Forlì towards his hometown.
