The Olympische Sommerspiele 1972 were the first Olympic Games I could watch at the television. It was an important edition, not only for the incredible quality of the visualdesign created by OTL AICHER and his team Dept.XI, for the futuristic architecture of the Olympiapark designed by OTTO FREI, it was very important for the development and the modern urbanisation of the city of München, at that time, a city suffering the effects and post-effects of WWII.
I do not forgive! I do not forget! Take a moment and remember!
«Le col le plus difficile était le Col de La Madone, qui surplombait la ville et était réputé pour ses douze kilomètres particulièrement raides. La Madone, trop pénible pour être tentée tous les jours, était parfaite pour tester sa condition. La plupart des coureurs la faisaient une ou deux fois par saison. Je l’ai faite une fois par mois».

I always wanted to tell the amazing history of my wonderful family. Everything started at the end of the 1800’s in a small village in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Discover more at tabarelli.it
This iconic logo was designed by my father in the 70’s. The green color was inspired by the green used by DINO GAVINA for the bed Vanessa(the most beautiful bed in the world!!!)designed by TOBIA SCARPA.
Olympic games are not always an athletic festival.
In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele 1972, eight Palestinian criminals, members of the 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!
Take a moment and remember!

It’s always a great pleasure and a great honour to be source of inspiration for famous designers and prestigious brands.

We are really honoured to have been a source of inspiration for the new kit of procycling team EF Education.
The original kaleidoscopic design was created by Max at TYPEKLANG for the Zürich Bike Festival in 2018 and was dedicated to the two new collections ÉQUIPE and MONDIALE presented in anteprima at the show.
It is still used for all the posters, flyers, stickers and visit cards of SUPERLEGGERO.
