“The theme of [Vogue World: Milano] revolves around the value of the human element and the need to preserve the meaning of doing, learning, and creating in an increasingly digital world,” Francesca Ragazzi said in a statement on June 15. “The redevelopment of the Quarto Oggiaro Library—one of Milan’s priorities—embodies this vision by transforming a place historically dedicated to knowledge into a contemporary cultural hub where creativity, curiosity, and community come together in a vibrant way.”

“For us, investing in the Quarto Oggiaro Library means investing in the next generation,” added Milan City Councilor for Culture Tommaso Sacchi. “Libraries today are no longer just places for books: they are social and cultural spaces where people study, meet, exchange ideas, and spend time together. Vogue World: Milano allows us to rethink this library on a much larger scale, making it more open, more welcoming, and more useful to the community around it. A city’s cultural life cannot exist only in its historic center: It has to reach the neighborhoods where everyday life actually happens.”

“We are thrilled by the opportunity to collaborate on this project,” said Barbara Tripodo, the library’s director. “We are confident that the redevelopment of the library will have a significant impact on neighborhood life, enriching it with renewed spaces for social interaction, innovation, and the development of new creative energy.”
