City Hotel

City Hotel The City Hotel, inaugurated in 1957, was commissioned by the great and wealthy businessman and publisher Aldo Garzanti from Forlì to the famous architect Gio Ponti.
Aldo Garzanti designed the complex as the headquarters of the Livio and Maria Garzanti Foundation and as an "Artists House", i.e. a place of hospitality and work for artists, writers and men of science. The City Hotel is also a place that fully expresses Gio Ponti's planning. In fact, it testifies to the unique and original synthesis of tradition and modernity, history and design, elite culture and everyday life. It is therefore an exemplary work of architecture of the twentieth century and, at the same time, a manifesto of the generosity of a great citizen of Forlì towards his hometown.
