The Milan-based design curator, consultant and author Maria Cristina Didero is perhaps best known for her expertise on Italian Radical Design. An architecture and design movement from the 1960s and 70s Italy, it traveled from the small town of Pistoia all the way to New York’s MoMA.

In spirit with its times, Radical Design drew from Pop Art to create critique in form of rebellious objects. Responding to the political, social, and cultural shifts, the Radicals rejected design and architecture before them, instead making their own.
