One of my most beloved Architekt is ADOLF LOOS.
I first discovered his great talent during a trip to Prague at the end of the 80’s, then as a young Architecture student in Venezia, I focused all my studies on his work. His love for classical Architecture, his minimalism and his modernism had a strong influence on my culture and my style. I love the clear lines, rigid interior spaces, flat roofs, terraces, absence of any ornament and decoration he used in all of his works.
Best way to decorate a cycling Christmas tree?

Olympic games are not always a festival of happiness and sport.
In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele in Munich, eight arabs criminals, members of the palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!
This is islam, these are arabs!
In all these years and thanks to the Operation Wrath of God, the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of the State of Israel killed more then 200 palestinian terrorists members of the palestinian armed militant group Black September and operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Of the eight arab criminals involved in the Munich massacre, only one is still escaping. For how long?
Happy me!
Last week I found a trunk full of LETRASET EUROSTILE BOLD EXTENDED and MEDIUM EXTENDED. This clean and futuristic typeface was designed by ALDO NOVARESE in 1962 and was largely used in the 70’s sci-fi movies and tv shows. In the original STAR TREK tv series and movies, the font appears on the exterior of all Starfleet vessels and insignias worn by the crew.
The right type for intergalactic communications!
One of my favourite movie? Paris, Texas!
For the heartbreaking images of the Texas desert, for the heartbreaking neon signs of the motels, for the heartbreaking music composed by RY COODER, for the outstanding performances by HARRY DEAN STANTON and NASTASSJA KINSKI, and for the wonderful performance from DEAN STOCKWELL.
Exactly 40 years ago the film directed by WIM WENDERS and written by SAM SHEPARD was presented at the 37th Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d’Or.
Now, 40 years later a 4K restored version of the film, supported by Chanel, has been premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Palme d’Or.
Is four years a long time?
I love shoulder-bags!

“La macchina da rally non ha bisogno di essere bella, ma se non avesse vinto sarebbe rimasto almeno il bello.” [cit.] MARCELLO GANDINI
Marcello Gandini was one the most famous, talented and visionary car designers. He was known for the masterpieces he created for Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Lancia.
For Lamborghini he designed some of the most beautiful, iconic and futuristic sports cars of the period, such as the Lamborghini Miura(1966), the Lamborghini Countach(1971) and the Lamborghini Diablo(1985).
Presented in 1966 at the Geneva Motor show, the Lamborghini Miura was the fastest road car of the period with his 3.9 12V engine, 350 HP, five speed and the first supercar with the engine at the mid-rear position behind the driver’s seat. The Miura became famous even for the detail of the beautiful black eyelashes around the headlights.
