Marsèlleria's Artistic Director Mirko Rizzi Steps Down After a Decade
Mirko Rizzi is stepping down as the artistic director of Marsèlleria after a decade. This independent creative hub, linked to the design shoe brand Marsèll, was established in 2009 on via Paullo in Milan and later expanded to via Rezia and New York in 2017. Over the years, it has showcased more than 100 exhibitions, performances, and discussions, featuring artists like Andrea De Stefani, Cristian Chironi, and many others.
