Gianni Stefanini
A series of articles presents and analyses the Cultural Center "il Pertini" just opened in Cinisello Balsamo (a town of 71.0000 people sited in Milan's hinterland), a new "knowledge square", as Italians call modern libraries that offer a variety of public and cultural services. With a surface of 6.500 mq on four floors and a great offer of documents, services and cultural opportunities, il Pertini represents a great challenge for the municipality, in order to reshape the image of a provincial town and, overall, to strengthen social cohesion that is heavily threatened in these crisis times. The ambition is to create a chance of improving local quality of life for all citizens, in particular for the youngest ones.
