An idea born with the aim of raising awareness in the community about the importance that basketball can have in the lives of people with Down syndrome and made possible thanks to the initiative of Sutor Montegranaro together with Virtus Basket Civitanova, Il Ponte Morrovalle, Nuova Petritoli Basket, Fochi Pollenza, Porto San Giorgio Basket and the Anthropos association that makes the tournament possible. The testimony of the Anthrops technicians present was important: "The boys train with passion, they did it this morning too and we thank from the bottom of our hearts those who give life to this tournament. The drive and desire of these boys is the fuel to always move forward. We started years ago with five boys, today we are sixteen and we had to make two groups. It's an incredible rise". Nice speech by the two Anthrops boys, Federico and Alessandro, who can't wait to play and win and who thanked their teammates and parents for their support. Also present were Simone del Prete of Basket Petritoli and Jonathan Amaolo of Il Ponte Morrovalle. In addition to these, regional councilor Anna Menghi and the mayor of Montegranaro Endrio Ubaldi, together with councilor Gastone Gismondi and the President of the City Council Nicolò Venanzi. "It is a very high level event - the mayor underlined - which further qualifies the great name Sutor which has always been a social phenomenon here. Hearing the words of Alessandro and Federico I thought back to the many sacrifices made by the families and it is fortunate that there is a company like Anthropos to put in its daily commitment".

by at least 50% The Prada Group prefers to buy and restore existing plants rather than build new ones master architects are called to collaborate to create landscaped buildings rather than consume land The Prada “garden factories” are skillfully designed buildings that create a delicate balance between the visible and invisible focusing on the external appearance but also on the quality perceived from inside These “intro-verted” buildings have hidden gardens like medieval cloisters secret spaces of welcome and harmony but also unexpected openings towards faraway landscapes able to provide moments of aesthetic enjoyment especially to those who walk through them in real life that these factories were conceived above all to agree with the people inside them to contribute to alleviating the daily stress of many hundreds of persons but such consideration is often disregarded in situations where there is more involvement in self-celebratory and self-referential endeavours than in patiently stepping into the shoes of the people who will need to use the spaces The aim of our architectural pursuit has been not excess and extravagance but attentive dialogue with physical environmental surroundings that by now have become afflicted by deterioration and contamination almost everywhere I like to think that in our decades-long collaboration with Prada we have shared the greatest degree of commitment toward building correctly even though we were dealing with manufacturing sites We pinned our faith on rigorous principles of production-related functionality and rationality we raised buildings where no compromise was made in the richness of the spaces or the quality of the architecture they offer what Le Corbusier described as a promenade architectural My hope is that in each of the three factories visitors and most of all the people who labour there are able to perceive – over and above the mandatory functional efficacy and respect for the work of everyone – the bounty of spatial felicity that is customarily the condition of authentic architecture particularly the areas designated for collective use such as atriums SANTARCANGELO: Goi 9,
