The official website of Gio Ponti, Italian genius of architecture and design, has been up and running for some time now. In addition to the classical biographical information, the website contains a large section devoted to the master’s designs, with many library pictures and an ample collection of letters. There is also an online store where you can buy prints, books and products that he designed.
