90 years of History,
a future of
Innovation
What does it truly mean to embrace a creative discipline, and what makes Istituto Marangoni the ideal place to begin that journey?
The answer lies in one number: 90.
Ninety years of expanding the educational offering, fostering partnerships with industry Leaders, investing in the digital transformation of creative sectors, and nurturing young talent.
These initiatives are just some of the many ways Istituto Marangoni continues to demonstrate its long-standing commitment to educating and empowering generations of young creatives who, for nearly a century, have carried forward a shared legacy across the Group’s global campuses.
To celebrate this important milestone, the Group partnered with an Italian digital Artist whose creative vision and wit are transforming the global art scene, through collaborations with luxury brands and exhibitions in renowned galleries and public venues both in Italy and internationally: PIETRO TERZINI.
Back in 2022, Terzini had already shared valuable insights with students at the Milan School, further highlighting the deep connection between fashion, luxury, art, and visual communication.
This claim encapsulates the very essence of Istituto Marangoni: an open, global, and visionary approach to creativity.

To celebrate the collaboration, Terzini shared his thoughts and creative philosophy in an exclusive interview with journalist and Beauty Expert Francesca Delogu:
FD - What was your initial reaction when asked to create a claim for such an iconic Institution as Istituto Marangoni on its 90th anniversary? And how did the claim “Creative State of Mind” come to life?
PT - I felt truly honoured. Istituto Marangoni is a globally recognised Institution for creativity. The claim had to be something concise, yet able to capture the full DNA of the Group. That’s how I came up with "CREATIVE STATE OF MIND".
FD - Is the claim also meant as a message for students? And does it, in any way, represent your personal approach to creativity?
PT - To me, it’s the core essence of anyone working in the creative world. If you have a creative mindset, it’s something no one can take away from you. It’s inside you, it follows you everywhere. It’s like a passport: if you live in that mental space, you automatically belong to the global creative community.
“Creative State of Mind” is also the driving force behind Istituto Marangoni’s past, present, and future; a mindset that shapes new generations.
FD - What message do you think Istituto Marangoni should share with its students today?
PT - Keep pushing forward. With genuine talent and strong will, anyone can shape their own path. In my opinion, success is 50% mindset, 50% academic preparation. The school equips with the tools, but then it’s up to each individual to step into the real world and claim their space.
I wish all Istituto Marangoni students to keep moving forward and become ever more creative. The world is waiting for you!
