THE ITALY THAT NEVER STOPS

Looking at the year that has just begun with enthusiasm and determination is undeniably something far-from-easy to accomplish. The global scene is characterized by discontinuity and uncertainties, with our country, among others, being faced with ever new challenges, putting us all to the test. Yet, never as much as in this moment, have we felt the need of reinforcing our mission, to once again pick up the thread of a story about an all-italian creativity in order to relaunch it, and promote the territory from which it stems and thrives. Challenges and changes, after all, have always been part of the Italian people’s DNA, as they have always known how to draw from times of hardship, and from the experience derived from tradition, in order to find new life blood. By narrating the stories, transformations, challenges and, above all, the future of this beautiful country, also by way of recounting its past, All about Italy wishes to once again act as a catalyst to ideas, energies and values. An evocative journey into Venice’s alleys to discover the design wonders within the city and Carlo Scarpa’s creative genius, an exclusive interview with Alfredo Paramico, star collector of high-end watches, who has turned his untamable passion into a successful business. And again Edoardo Tresoldi’s poetry which, through the use of a metal wire, brings together man and landscape with a unique and fascinating architectural language, and the legendary journey of Edipo Re (Oedipus Rex), the historic boat which had once belonged to poet and director Pier Paolo Pasolini, which continues to sail and to be the protagonist of new tales. These, and many more, are the stories you will find in the coming pages, with the hope that they may be of inspiration to all, and that they may chart new headings towards the future.
