Architecture faculty and students at RIT will work on concept designs for Little Italy in Gates, the latest boost for the effort to create a vibrant multi-cultural neighborhood in the west-side town.
The involvement of Rochester Institute of Technology's Architecture Department, announced Thursday, starts early next year. Giovanna Potestà, an assistant professor of architecture at RIT who was educated and practiced in Italy, will lead the team.
We the Italians is a company that in 10 years has become a key relational hub between Italy and the community of the more than 20 million Italian Americans in the United States. We have built a set of information channels that monthly reaches 3 million Italian Americans.
We have also consolidated an unparalleled geographical presence, structuring a network of more than 80 Ambassadors in all the Italian regions, across all 50 American states, plus ten focused on specific themes.
