Velarca, a heritage of sailing and architecture to be discovered again

On the evening of May 6th, thanks to FAI and Universal Selecta S.p.A. a fund-raising nite will be host for the renewal of Velarca, historical symbol of the bond between Milan design and Como lake landscape. Velarca is a “house-boat” designed among 1959 and 1961 by the Milano-based historical firm BBPR, donated in 2011 to the FAI by Aldo and Maria Luisa Norsa, recently moved from its architectural docking to be renewed, according to the original project, by shipyard Ernesto Riva.
