History and purpose

The ADI was founded in 1956 in Milan by a group of prominent architects, designers, and industrialists including Alberto Rosselli, Giulio Castelli, and Livio Castiglioni (who, respectively, served as the first three presidents of the organisation).[2]

The objective of the ADI is to promote and enhance the understanding of and impact of high-quality Italian and international design as an industrial, economic, and cultural phenomenon.[3]

The annual Compasso d'Oro award, considered to be the most prestigious industry accolade, is granted by the ADI. A collection of Compasso d'Oro winning designs and other material related to the history and practice of design in Italy and abroad is held by the ADI Design Museum in Milan.[4][5][3]
