90 YEARS
COUNTLESS STORIES
Nine decades shaping the future of creative education
Founded in Milan in 1935, the Group has evolved into a global network of schools and emerging talents, serving as a driving force of innovation and style worldwide. This anniversary is more than a celebration: it is a renewed expression of Istituto Marangoni’s core mission: to guide and develop tomorrow’s creative talents and decision-makers. Where heritage meets innovation, Istituto Marangoni continues to redefine education for a new era.
What better way to mark such a special milestone than with a dedicated claim?
That’s exactly what inspired the collaboration with renowned digital artist Pietro Terzini, leading to the creation of "Creative State of Mind.": a vivid representation of the Group’s mission: blending creative innovation with real-world expertise.
Terzini infused the project with his distinctive vision. Here’s how it came to life.
