Everybody knows about the earthquake that hit Emilia Romagna, the region where I live, five months ago. During these five months, the people living in this region have rolled up their sleeves and started to build their new lives: new homes, new schools, new businesses. Today, more than 150.000 people are gathering in Reggio Emilia [...]
The Israeli Bezalel Academy Labs developed a great project that can saves many lifes, school-age children and teens living in earthquake areas especially. The table was initiated as a final project at the Industrial Design department at the "Bezalel Academy of Art and Design" in Jerusalem, Israel. The table was designed by (then) student Arthur Brutter under [...]
Very often I think that we are so used to beautiful things that we do not even see them anymore. It is the old adagio, that we do not realize what we have until it is gone. This is maybe why I do not feel at my ease developing pictures in black and white - [...]
Yesterday I was reading all the emails I received during the last month- I was on holiday with little time for checking emails and updating my blog. I stumbled upon the Free Speech in Belarus Teddy Bear bombing campaign by Studio Total, a Swedish PR agency. I was reading the story when my daughter Matilde [...]
Yesterday night I was reading Timbuktu* together with my daughter and discovered this interesting story about Xeroderma Pigmentosum and the Camp Sundown. Xeroderman Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare illness: people with XP have an extra delicate skin and cannot expose themselves to the sun and to any UV light. Can you imagine? It IS very [...]
The concept is very simple, but the application in gaming is very interesting. Not a virtual game, but an "old style" physical one. Love it!
This home, Es Pujol de Sera by the Spanish architect Marià Castelló Martínez, has been my "virtual" escape all week long. It looks like this website: a white box with a lot of beautiful - almost empty- rooms. But from its full width windows I can breathe the smell of Formentera -a beautiful and wild [...]
Yesterday I had a nice email exchange with Lucia Bruni, designer from Lucirmas, a design studio based in Barcelona whose creations I find extremely appealing. Lucirmás designs and produces sustainable glass products which tell a story. They make original, handcrafted objects from 100% recycled glass, offering the quality of a beautiful, artisan product. Lucirmás’ mission is to create [...]

Checking my blog stats I saw that "somebody for Switzerland" re-blogged one of my post. I am a very curious person, therefore I visited the re-blogging site, found it was CIELBLEU's blog and then .... added their wonderful "slow fashion" products to my wishlist! But makes CIELBLEU this interesting to me? " Cielbleu is a [...]
Milan: Italy's fashion capital. But not only. Each year, at the end of April, Milan becomes the world's design and furniture capital. And it has always been a great event, a must-go for those who are interested in design - if you are good at spotting talents, then that is the place to test your [...]
I am a SIGG addicted, therefore when I discovered this SIGG contest on Talenthouse I could not help myself from submitting "something". Being not good at using Photoshop and other graphic design software, I decided to keep it simple. Very simple. And do something by hand - actually, I grabbed my SIGG bottle wrapped in [...]
I am starting to use Pinterest as a source of inspiration. It is not that well known in Italy, but I am sure that its popularity will raise during 2012 even in my "very Facebook addicted" country. Anyway, browsing this new cool social newtork I have found a video showing a performance sand art performer [...]
I was searching for inspiring examples of great storytelling applied to social responsibility - and I have found some which are very good but up to date, the Get Closer ad - which dates back March 2011- is still my favorite one. Pro Infirmis is a Swiss organization that helps people with disabilities. For their Get [...]
Amazing. That's it! (wished they had a more user friendly website though)
Better not to say "I already know everything about this subject" because you never know what you might stumble upon. I was drinking my Saturday morning espresso at the local caffè, skimming through one of those offered magazine when I saw the guerrilla-crafts of Graffiti Grannys and went "WOW"! And this year, it is the [...]
I bet you have already seen these wonderful Pantone tarts everywhere - they are the last artwork of Emilie Guelpa, a French art director with an incredible taste 🙂 and passion for food! These Pantone tarts were designed for an article on the French magazine Fricote, but if you check her blog you will find [...]
I really love when art is not that serious and when it is this "immediate". Thanks Nicole, another great post!
Another very interesting architectural project. Today we are in Soglio, Switzerland, where the Suiss architect Armando Ruinelli has redeveloped an unused farm barn into a single family residence. The dwelling merges the traditional structure with a contemporary aesthetic, maintaining its place within the villages context. The three storeys are set into the steep slope, placing [...]
I must admit that in my many visits to U.S.A I have never had cupcakes. Despite my being Italian, I love to experiment "foreign" food traditions, but nobody offered me a cupcake while I was in the U.S.A therefore I ignore what they are. But I assure you that the next time that I will [...]
I absolutely have to become a great international photographer (I'm laughing) and design a great project so to be able to successfully apply to Fogo Island Arts Corporation Residency Program, which is meant: "to bring contemporary artists of international caliber to live and work on Fogo Island and Change Islands. The program encourages the participation [...]
