The Municipality of Milan in collaboration with GE.DI. Group S.p.A. SpA presents its new flagship for culture and the academic world, the Nuova B.E.I.C. – European Library of Information and Culture.
The intervention was included in the list of interventions envisaged by the “Strategic investment plan on cultural heritage sites, buildings and natural areas” as part of the National Plan for investments complementary to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (P.N.R.R.), approved by Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 8 October 2021.
The work will be built in an area located in the eastern part of the city, between Via Cervignano, Via Monte Ortigara and Viale Molise, once occupied by the Porta Vittoria railway station, more precisely in District 4.
