DESIGNING A NEWS EXPERIENCE — My @domestika course is out. Special guests @mariocalabresi and @a.rinal17 — LINK IN BIO

If you value silence, slowness and contemplation, you appreciate Alta Badia. Here, Nature is the guide that creates a picture that everyone can enjoy. In this ancient Ladin land you’ll admire sunsets, walk on lonely ridges and slowly become part of the landscape while you recharge yourself. Some things change. Those that make us feel good never change. In Alta Badia you will always find hospitality, sharing, serenity. Bëgnodüs Inier, Incö, Duman. — @alta_badia_official

When I think about the concept of humanity associated with cycling, the words of Gianni Mura come to mind. In 2017, on the eve of the 100th edition of the Giro d'Italia, he described cycling as a profoundly human sport, where those who escape are not cowards. In his articles as a correspondent at the races, Mura portrayed this discipline above all as a human adventure, paying tribute to all the men who have chosen it as a profession, celebrating their technique, their hardship and their passion. Mura wrote: "There are machines that give information about heartbeats, power exerted uphill, the threshold of fatigue. There are no machines that measure dignity, endurance, seriousness, sacrifice, courage and imagination. Certain things can only be evaluated by humans, if they want to, and humans can make mistakes, but at least they have an advantage over machines". The Giro d'Italia also had its share of writers, such as Dino Buzzati, Vasco Pratolini, Anna Maria Ortese and Curzio Malaparte: Challenges and hardships turned into literature. These journalists were keen observers of people, atmospheres and landscapes, and it didn't matter that they were almost illiterate when it came to cycling: they told the stories, the behind-the-scenes stories, the feats that echoed with epic pedal strokes, with people crowded along the roadside trembling in anticipation of seeing their idols pass, even if only for a moment. The pages of those newspapers told the story of the social role of cycling in post-war Italy. Today, the pages of the newspapers describe what was once a symbol of effort as a new way of being, and they tell us of a widespread passion that, between ecology, freedom and the praise of slowness, makes the bicycle the flag of a new philosophy of life and of our future. The Maratona dles Dolomites is certainly proof that cycling is more than a sport, it is a passion that embraces humanity. #mdd36 #umanité — Video by @federicovitali_filmmaker per @maratonadolomites @alta_badia_official In the video @elecasi @elisascarlatta Thanks to @alessiasora @janpaulpiai @la_fradora_dolomites_hotel

Francesco Franchi sul palco di Design Bomb Festival, il 23 e 24 maggio a Catania. 💥 Deputy Creative Director de “La Repubblica”, una delle voci più autorevoli nel panorama del design editoriale contemporaneo. Dopo i primi anni di formazione e ricerca a LeftLoft, studio milanese tra i più influenti nel design della comunicazione, ha diretto creativamente “IL”, l’inserto maschile del Sole 24 Ore, trasformandolo in un riferimento internazionale per chi guarda al giornalismo visivo come disciplina a sé stante. Da dieci anni è il custode dell’identità visiva di Repubblica, ridisegnata tre volte insieme ad Angelo Rinaldi, con la stessa cura artigianale riservata alla costruzione dell’identità di un brand. Il suo approccio unisce rigore tipografico e sensibilità narrativa: informare e dare forma sono atti inseparabili. Il suo lavoro costruisce un’esperienza visiva per i lettori, un contenuto che non si limita a essere letto ma si ascolta, si guarda e si tocca — dal cartaceo al digitale — fino a diventare presenza nei festival e nelle mostre. Membro AGI, è anche autore di Designing News e The Intelligent Lifestyle Magazine, due testi che hanno ridefinito il modo in cui si pensa al progetto grafico nell’informazione.
