At the Tecnopolo Manifattura there will be an area for international scientific and cultural events. The Salt Warehouse will host conference and congress activities to favour meeting and scientific partnerships, as well as events open to the city. The building will become a new centre for the dissemination of scientific culture and is one of the most evident examples of Pier Luigi Nervi's philosophy and construction techniques with its parabolic vault designed to create the shape of mounds of salt.
