The editorial I wrote for AT two years ago, on 23 March 2020, in the grip of the pandemic and concerned with other dark omens, revealed all the worries raised by the beginning of the new millennium. Today, I shiver when reading it: the dangers outlined in that same article are still present and without remedy. Although we made a lot of progress with anti-COVID vaccination, the skepticism of many contributed to keeping the virus alive. Moreover, against the global backdrop, imbued with concern on many levels, the economy has taken on a central role in our lives. There is still a long way to go before recovery, adversely affecting our work, growth, activities, reconstruction, and social life...

The Flavio LucchiniArt Museum has recently welcomed a group of adults with different degrees of disability of " Fraternità e Amicizia” (Fraternity and Friendship), a non-profit Social Cooperative, founded in 2007, which faces discomfort and fragility with the goal of helping people in understanding their own context, recognizing their own specificity and richness, and learning how to accept and interact with others in a satisfactory way. "An experience full of emotions in a landscape of art, surrounded by harmony and beauty, in the balance between elegance, style...

The 60th edition of the Salone del Mobile – from 7 to 12 June at Fiera Milano – was presented in a mood of renewal, conveyed even by the stage chosen for the event: the Giorgio Gaber opera theatre (La Cannobiana), recently re-opened for the first time since 1999...

2021 was the annus mirabilis of the Salone. The 59th edition of the Salone represented a "restart", that the unexpected growth of 14.3% from 2019 proved", says the President of the Federlegno Arredo Claudio Ferlin.
  What about 2022? Yesterday, everyone was talking about rebirth. Over the past two years, the crisis has impacted many aspects of our lives, resulting in a major change in our lifestyle. As always, the Salone did nothing but reflect a change in times through design objects and their designers.
​​​​​​​Left speechless by the absurdity of the current situation, Mayor Giuseppe Sala claims that "talking about a restart doesn’t make sense...

Last edition of the Art Dubai Fair closed with overall satisfaction. Over the past 15 years, this event brought the thousand facets of contemporary art in the Middle East, both locally and internationally, resulting in mulltiple initiatives around the city...

In the past 10 years, the taste of art amateurs and collectors who live or visit Dubai has evolved a lot, often boosting the mix of various cultural expressions, bold proposals, digital art, video art, and technological innovations. As part of the 2022 Art Week, 120 galleries from around the world - including Marella in Milano, with whom Superstudio has been working together for years, and Perrotin in Paris - attracted more than 30.000 visitors, celebrating the Art Dubai Fair in March in a context full of enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity for the flagship event of the region, once again taking place at the Madinat Art Center...

2019-2022. After a two-year break, last weekend Book Pride made the headlines in Milan with almost 12.000 visitors in just three days. What’s the plus? A new location where culture is practiced differently...

A moltitude of initiatives (moltitude is also the theme of the 6th edition) involving more than 200 exhibitors, 469 guests and almost 200 talks throughout the weekend: a show of variety, from the most engaged interventions, as Pesto alla genovese by the photoreporter Luciano del Castillo, who shot one of the most iconic photos of the 2001 Genoa G8, to the beautiful series Le parole delle canzoni in which Treccani plots the evolution of our societies through a selection of songs by contemporary songwriters...

The following are the protagonists of Angela, the exhibition of the artist Angela Carrubba Pintaldi opening tomorrow, 8 March, right on International Women’s Day, in MyOwnGallery. As usual, under the artistic direction of Gisella Borioli...

No better occasion to introduce our readers to the team of the exhibition, an all-female one. Starting from Angela Carruba Pintaldi. Of Siracusa, her native land, she has the intense energy and earthy vibrations of an endless world, the silent beauty of her passion, exuberance and pathos. Then, the curator, Anna imponente: she has been “Director of the Ministry of Culture until 2020, dealing with the promotion and enhancement of museums and cultural places”. Last but not least, the author of one of the poems on display: Maria Francesca Merloni...

Technology is magical and fantastical, it challenges our most rooted habits, creating new opportunities out of them. For example, conventional table salt, whilst still associated with kitchens and food preservation, is currently undergoing a paradigm shift in its usage, with engineers and designers increasingly employing it to construct buildings of the future...

Salt has an ancient past: used to preserve food as early as 10.000 years ago, later among the Romans it was a currency to pay soldiers, hence the term “salary”. 
Today, salt is mass-produced also thanks to its adaptability and cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, the amount of wasted salt has grown in recent times, resulting in the intensification of collective research to find creative recycling solutions...

The fourth edition of Book Pride kicks off at Superstudio Maxi from 4 to 6 March for a weekend entirely dedicated to independent publishing...

At times, taking a break is a plus, new ideas can appear in a flash. This is what happened to Book Pride, which, in its third edition, was cut short in the first months of 2020. Just a year after the First Pandemic, a brand-new pool of entrepreneurs founded the Book Pride Association. They scrapped the idea of a traditional stand-based fair and instead created a place for sharing, where independent publishers could find their oasis, able to freely meet without being overshadowed by big publishers...

On Friday 4 and Saturday 5 March, from 16 to 18.30, you can discover a still secret place in the area: the Flavio Lucchini Art Museum. After originating from the artist's studio in 2000, it has now evolved into a creative space where dozens of the artworks he created over the years are on display. Fashion – that is the artist's true background – is at the centre of his considerations, even when meeting art: “Women’s dresses can convey beauty, irony, boldness, eroticism and many other emotions....
