The surprising contrast between the Central Station tunnels, Magazzini Raccordati, and the enthralling installations, worked its magic once again at the second edition of Ventura Centrale. Over 55.000 visitors visited these grand and inspiring spaces. They discovered wooden giants, illuminated origami lamps, colorful tape, and were even confronted with the audible potential of glass.
