We all sat around thespectacularGio Ponti table in the dining room of the Rectorate at Palazzo Bo, the University headquarters, and started an earnest, wide-ranging conversation, which juggled a series of ideas and comments we decided to sharewith our readers. What follows is a transcription of our dialogue. With deep gratitude for our guest’s generosity and thanks to all involved.
