Whys & Wonders
A question mark a curved line that runs and unfolds following the thread of the infinite paths of thoughts, feelings, being, life. An unexpressed question that shakes your very soul, forcing a confrontation, primarily with yourself, in an inner dialogue of rediscovery and deepening that, in turn, leaves room for more and more questions. A real journey through the entire range of authentic emotions, manifesting itself brushstroke after brushstroke, as a search for one’s own rebirth through the narrow passage of darkness, prejudice, shame, mistrust in order to grow stronger, wiser and freer.

WEMEMEWE
There are 7.7 billion people in the world and no two are alike, everyone is unique. As well as WEMEMEWE bags. No two are alike, each piece is unique.
The best of made in Italy craftsmanship, technology and design. A limited edition collection that are born to be beautiful, useful and sustainable. Their preciousness, singularity, uniqueness: life conceived as ART.
When I landed in Rome, many years ago, ‘Made in Italy’ was a must for anyone coming from abroad. Today I ask myself why this great enormous artisan heritage is disappearing: tailoring, textile manufacturing, design… The answer is: only to pursue money and greater profits to the detriment of such great professionalism. People prefer producing Italian creativeness abroad:
IT’S TOO HARD TO BELIEVE!
The leading brands of Italian haute couture, prêt-à-porter and small fashion maisons ought to set up a ‘cartel’ and protect craftsmen; they ought to impose adequate remunerations, so that the companies selling the finished products, and the artisans, might live, struggle for and increase the already priceless value of Italian-made products. The pursuit of profit is not always the best solution.
Design London
We collaborated in creating feature installations with the London event 100% Design (Kensington Olympia), reflecting the theme chosen for that year. Media 10 was the agency appointed to organise the event that year, offering the facilities to set up the four installations.
The installation consists of a colourful rainfall of fabrics from Ramfil/Ramberti production, colours with a distinctive and spacious texture that allows both a semi-transparency effect among the panels and the passage of ambient light.
The project was to build a large-scale sample collection that enables the viewers to captivate the idea behind the production, making the quality of materials transparent and its visibility and tactile interaction.
Sigismondo Goes Pop
From an original idea born with Sarita Maggioli, in collaboration with the creative director Christine Joan for the Ramberti Group, in homage to the most famous gentleman of Rimini: Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta.
Christine Joan’s exhibitions symbolically represent this contradictory figure through 9 chromotypes, which transform the original creations into comfortable, simple, but authoritative beach or garden seats, colourful paintings’in tecnica mista on canvas ‘ Limited editionT’shirts : a sort of pop tribute into a fascinated event pop.
The strong chromatic contrasts interpret the contrasts of the personality of the “Prince”, gradually described as a cultured and refined patron, but also as a fierce and ruthless warrior, sure of himself, at times hesitant as a refined thinker.
Just like in a popular novel, opposite feelings meet and collide without logical solutions of continuity, as happens in our experience: therefore a pop realization in perennial metamorphosis, which we know only in the single frames, almost always without being able to decipher its complexity.

SNEAKERS LIKE WORKS OF ART
On the occasion of Cartoon Club, the works of art created by some well-known artists, designers and young artists, who have used the theme of time to create and exhibition in the spaces of the Modern Wing of the Museum, with the the collaboration of the well-known gallerist Gianfranco Rosini – Rosini Gutman Art Gallery.
The project wants to be the driving force that allows the ideas of young hidden talents to emerge and show themselves alongside already established professionals in the arts sector, for this reason one of the significant elements of the project is precisely the dialogue between the creative and alternative vision of the young artists and that of already established professionals.
