he's max. he's my hubby. he's the sweet father of my little son. he's such a great art director working (hard!) for an adv agency, probabily the best one in milan... and in italy. he also likes to express himself in this graphic way, let's say. i really appreciate his stuff that's why i guess i can add them into my blog... i mean, he deserve it! ;)

"davide is dreaming" is a series dedicated to davide... i've already post it sometimes ago. ♥
foscarini takes you into a kaleidoscope and you feel like a baby watching something for the first time.
superstudiopiù is simply a perfect location: mooi is my favourite.
richard ginori makes you feel sorry to be born too late. better the thirties.
fabio novembre keeps you in touch with darkness, red flowers, drowings and thoughts about life, war, spaces. he's quite a genius. even davide appreciates a lot.
i can say it's the first time i'm so proud to be not only italian, but milanese.
this is the best "fuori salone" of all. probabily not anyone knows that every year in milan there's such an amazing melting pot week where fashion, design, architecture, nice international faces are mixed up. i felt into that and i wanna show you some picts. they'r taken by my i-phone, they'r not so cool but i hope they will show milan enough, during these crazy and inspiring days.
from 24/02 up to 29/03 there’s such an interesting exibition called DRITTO e ROVESCIO.
the weave of the fabric is the metaphor that lends itself to expressing relations in narrative art, music, logic, in societies, science. DRITTO e ROVESCIO links separate areas like art, design, science and the work of individuals around a table in a bar or at home in front of the television.
performance, photographs, installations and videos from around 30 artists from all over the word.
