Beauty Opener
La collezione di solari Mappatella Beach (come la spiaggia omonima); la linea di sticker per la manicure con le grafiche che richiamano i simboli partenopei: i cornetti, i limoni, le maioliche; i profumi che evocano i sentori della costiera e della gastronomia locale. Il beauty napoletano è un mondo, fatto di giovani start-up e marchi emergenti in cerca di una felice sintesi tra passato e futuro. Lo raccontiamo nelle prossime pagine. In cui trovano spazio anche Lucia Pica, un debutto importante (il make-up di Valentino), una nuova tendenza della medicina estetica e un libro che è un viaggio nella bellezza, in tutte le sue molteplici sfumature.
Magic and superstition have been a constant theme in numbers. The numbers are then used to play at the Neapolitan culture. One of the prime expressions of lottery. The dreams and events, whether fortunate or this tradition is the Smorfia. The Smorfia is a system unfortunate, are interpreted as well-identified signs, used to convert dreams and everyday life events into which have been classified in the traditional book of
numbers. The numbers are then used to play at the lottery. The dreams and events, whether fortunate or unfortunate, are interpreted as well-identified signs, which have been classified in the traditional book of
the Smorfia and given a number between 1 and 90. There have been several editions of the book, which often contained illustrations because centuries ago many people were illiterate. The content of the book
was passed on as part of the oral tradition and most Neapolitans knew it by heart (and many still do). According to the Smorfia, each element of a dream or event can be translated into a number. However, the
more unusual the event, the more this is seen as a presage. For example, if someone fell through a window or was hurt by a knife, the numbers 56 (fall) or 41 (knife) will be noted. Although present throughout
Italy in different versions, the Smorfia is thoroughly Neapolitan. Even though the name literally means “making faces”, it actually derives from Morpheus, the god of dreams in Greek mythology.
