Italian Design Day was celebrated in San Francisco on February 12th, highlighting the crucial role of high-quality design in addressing and mitigating inequalities and reducing their impact on daily life. This annual global event, launched in 2017 with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to showcase the excellence and distinctive qualities of Italian design worldwide.

Italian Design Day brings together a diverse network of “ambassadors” — architects, designers, and industry professionals — who participate in conferences, exhibitions, and meetings to promote Italian design on an international stage. The initiative fosters collaboration between public and private entities, including businesses and educational institutions, strengthening the global reputation of Italian design.
