Brochure of the exhibition “Between Rodari and Munari”
“Face and stripes” by Beatrice Brandini
It was a long time since I wanted to dedicate a post to Bruno Munari, and, always for the same time, one to Gianni Rodari, a beautiful exhibition in Rome gives me the opportunity to talk about they transversely, combining these two great geniuses. Read more

“La gattina” by Beatrice Brandini
Hello Kitty piggy bank
The Japanese company Sanrio certainly did not imagine that, that character born in 1974 from the pencil of the designer Yuko Shimizu, would become a real pop icon, a symbol adored in every part of the globe, indistinctly protagonist of a pen as of a wedding dress. Read more
“Landscape” by Fernando Farulli
“Blonde atomic” by Beatrice Brandini
I have always been fascinated by this great artist, it was a true love at first sight from the first time I saw his works. However, he is a talent that has not had, at least not always, the legitimate and deserved visibility, with this post I would like to “balance the accounts”. Read more
