E si capisce il voto dei poveracci, degli immemori, di chi non c’era o di chi non hai mai aperto un libro, di qualche sempliciotto demente che cerca luce o gloria. Tuttavia la storia del Novecento, piaccia o meno, è un'altra, e certo non potrà essere riscritta da qualche piccolo apprendista revisionista momentaneamente coinvolto in una gita scolastica a Bruxelles o a Strasburgo.

What will happen after Expo ? Maroni and Pisapia had both talked about campuses, but there is still nothing on the horizon. If everything has to be planned to optimise costs, then let's decide now! Also because tomorrow it will all be dismantled. The mistake is that everything obviously had to be designed with an awareness and understanding of what should come next.
