"I am not so confident in the design and architecture schools in Italy." Franceso believes that it is up to the individual student and their interests to make what they can of their schooling today.

In the past, specifically in the sixties and seventies, Italian designers were interacting with the situations in Milan everyday. This was very fruitful for the design industry as the things that were happening in Milan were driving the ideas that were emerging in design at that time. Today, people who are not born in Italy are working in Italy and creating the contemporary brand of Italian design.

Francesco believes that "the studios are the schools", much like a bodega. This was an idea that was expressed by Alessandro in the interview last year, that the only way to really learn design or architecture is to do it within a studio, being taught by your mentor. Francesco went on to say that, "this will continue even though the panorama of design has changed." "The way of growing is always the same". The panorama of design includes the different schools of design that are strongly emerging in the market today. These include the Minimalist German style, the technological, Japanese style, and the Italian way of design. Although these schools of design are going in every direction, they are not mixing. This opinion provides an optimistic view for the future of Italian design.
