There are places that preserve more than garments: they hold memories, visions, and lives shaped by time.
We discovered Archivi Mazzini thanks to @moebiusbooks  and together with @ottanio_design  we created an intimate talk, shared with a small circle of close friends gathered around stories meant to stay with you.
Through the words of Carla, founder and soul of the project, we explored a unique archive: more than 400,000 garments, accessories, and fragments of contemporary fashion preserved like pages from a collective diary. A place born from Attilio Mazzini’s passion, which over time became a refuge for research, inspiration, and creative memory.
Grateful for this shot by @giacomo_gandola2196 , whose eye always manages to catch something beyond the surface and one of the only moments where I smile.
First, the entire space is wrapped in broad expanses of raw canvas until everything disappears. Not only the walls, but also the armchairs, tables, shelves, lamps, ornaments even the kitchen itself are enveloped in fabric.
Over the course of the Biennale, the blank whiteness of the canvas will gradually be invaded, marked, stained, and transformed.
CA’DORA is both habitat and performance, refuge and wound, domestic interior and psychic landscape. It stages the porous threshold between intimacy and exhibition, asking what it means to live inside one’s own work—and to let that work consume you in return.
And I’m happy to be a friend of @scarssoup
A gift to the city.
The Fondazione Dries Van Noten officially opens its doors at Palazzo Pisani Moretta, Venice. Nestled within this exquisite palazzo, the Foundation unveils a curated journey through the nuances of beauty, craftsmanship, and design.
Welcome to the Foundation.
THE ONLY TRUE PROTEST IS BEAUTY.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of STORIES AS FORMS, curated by Riccardo Rizzetto.
It was a special moment of encounter; shaped by attention, presence, and the possibility of sharing stories that take form through matter.
The exhibition remains open until 12 April as part of the Biennale Internazionale Donna.
Developed in collaboration with Malles Design Mediterraneo, STORIES AS FORMS brings together the ceramics of Sejnane, a rural community in northern Tunisia where women have transmitted the knowledge of shaping clay across generations. Recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, this practice holds stories not as narratives to be consumed, but as forms that emerge through gesture, repetition, and lived experience.
Each vessel carries the trace of the hands that made it, and the story of the woman behind it. Through a donation, it is possible to take a piece home — directly supporting the women of Sejnane and the continuity of their practice.

The visit to this museum is worth it just to see this painting.
Thanks to @tommasocalabro for the suggestion.
Built between the 13th and 19th century by Hammuda Lasram, this remarkable palace was home to generations of his family before being restored and brought back to life.
Three levels, three functions:
– Ground floor: servants’ quarters
– Raised ground floor: family living spaces
– First floor: guest reception areas
The facade immediately stands out with its large studded door and unique architectural details, including an ancient Roman sarcophagus repurposed as a step.
The bent entrance protects the privacy of the home, while the interior spaces follow a clear hierarchy, from public to more intimate areas.
Among the most evocative rooms:
– the driba, used for short visits and meetings
– the bayt al-sahra’, dedicated to evening social life
A palace designed to welcome guests and preserving the intimacy of family life.
An architecture that works like a beehive.
Palazzo Uffici Olivetti was constructed between 1960 and 1964 as a representative headquarters during a period of major industrial expansion for the company. The design adopts the language of the International Style but with a striking layout: a star-shaped plan with three wings set at 120° and hinged around a central core.
At the center lies the heart of the building: service spaces and a monumental hexagonal staircase illuminated by a large Murano glass skylight.
Everything revolves around a symbolic idea: the industriousness of the bee. The building echoes the logic of a hive an organized system where every part contributes to the functioning of the whole.
Among its most fascinating spaces is the executive lounge designed by Sottsass, a refined interior that perfectly reflects Olivetti’s cultural and industrial vision.
Thanks to @anticamera_location for the opportunity to visit this amazing masterpiece.
