MEMO – Grandi Magazzini Culturali is an Italian magazine and website dedicated to culture. It reports on the main cultural events that are happening throughout the world and it offers an in-depth focus on the cities of Rome and Milan. There are 80.000 hard copies of Memo handed out in more than 200 cultural venues (museums, art galleries, libraries…). Memo is an original editorial idea, capturing in an innovative way, the relationship between places, public and private companies and their investment in culture. Memo is distributed in cities (at first in Rome and Milan and after there will be Turin, Venice, Florence, Naples and Bologna editions) because cities are the main culture factories of our time and, as the heading suggests, they are our “Cultural Department Stores” where it is possible to experiment new languages, new knowledge, new forms of creativity. Memo collaborates with the most important Italian cultural organisations such as Arcus, Fai, Fondazione Symbola and Federculture.
