Antonio Citterio, the architect and behind the Technogym Village – the 2018 Global Wellness Summit venue – will be a keynote at this year’s conference in Cesena, Italy.

Citterio is co-founder of the multi-disciplinary design practice of Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, which works in architectural, interior and urban design. The firm’s projects include residential and commercial

Hermès, the Hansgrohe Group’s luxury brand Axor, and Technogym.

“There is an increasing awareness that our surroundings affect our wellbeing and ‘building well to live well’ has become a distinct rallying call,” said Susie Ellis, chair and CEO of the Global Wellness Summit.

“Antonio Citterio is a global superstar in this arena. Italy is famous for its outstanding and forwardthinking design, and Antonio is the personification of this well-deserved accolade.

He will inspire and delight Summit delegates.”
