50 Years of BLV
In 2025, Studio BLV – Belvedere & Partners celebrates its fiftieth anniversary.
This is a significant milestone, not only for the firm’s history but also for the bond it has forged with the city of Milan over the years.
To pay tribute to the city that has accompanied its professional journey, the firm has chosen to leave a tangible mark of its deep roots in the local community.
The 50th-anniversary celebrations began with a project to enhance Piazza Eleonora Duse, the symbolic location where the firm has been headquartered since its founding, by planting a ten-metre Ginkgo Biloba tree.
Adding to the project’s evocative quality is the inclusion, in the plaza’s paving, of a spiral representing the various geological eras: a path that invites reflection on the relationship between past and future.
The 50th-anniversary celebrations do not end here.
The firm will also host an exhibition in November, where a book will be presented that traces the history of Milan and the city’s most significant urban renewal projects over the past fifty years, highlighting the contribution the firm has made to this journey through its guiding principles.

THE Ginkgo Biloba
The Ginkgo, one of the oldest species on the planet, having first appeared some 350 million years ago and still thriving today, is a tree rich in symbolism: resilience, adaptability, longevity, and optimism.
A symbol that reflects the ability to traverse eras and transformations, just like the real estate sector in which the firm has been operating successfully for half a century.
The magnificent Ginkgo tree that already stands tall in Piazza Eleonora Duse will be inaugurated on May 9 with an official ceremony.
The Spiral of Time
A striking visual symbol adorns the pavement around the central tree. A spiral representing the passage of time, beginning with the earliest geological era, when the ginkgo tree was already present on our planet.

Events
On May 9, the inauguration of the new redevelopment project took place in Piazza Duse, at the center of which stands the magnificent Ginkgo Biloba tree, which over time will grow into a lush and vibrant canopy.
In addition to the entire team from Studio BLV Belvedere & Partners, the event was attended by the Councilor for the Environment and Green Spaces, Elena Eva Maria Grandi; the President of City District 1, Mattia Abdu Ismahil; and architect Raffaello Cecchi.
