THE CIRCLE, a project commissioned by Intesa Sanpaolo with the specialist support of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - the biggest foundation in the world to promote the Circular Economy - and hosted at Gallerie d’Italia Turin from Sept. 21, 2023 to Feb. 18, 2024, takes us on a journey in search of emblematic practices and stories of sustainable economic growth, through experimentation and industrial advancement across Europe. These stories unfold real solutions inspired by the immutable laws of nature and explore topics such as energy production, the recycling of textiles, the repurposing of abandoned industriale areas, food production and ocean powered solutions.

THE CIRCLE. Circular Future Labs is a project to put the circular economy, in the Lombardy capital, at the center of the debate. It is promoted by Fondazione Cariplo, with Gallerie d'Italia Intesa Sanpaolo, and with the collaboration of IED, Istituto Europeo di Design.

In Milan it is presented in a format that includes: an exhibition by Luca Locatelli at the IED, from 21 March to 20 April, in an installation that combines static and moving images, with some of the works of the photographer already set up at the Gallerie d'Italia - Turin with the addition of several unpublished, and a series of meetings and talks in depth.

The events aim to tell how much "hidden" circular economy has developed in recent years and promote other virtuous practices.
