We’re all good at doing easy things. But the real goal is to be good at doing challenging things, turning them into something easy… I’m glad to announce that “LP”, the output of the research project that I carried out at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano with Matteo Moretti and with the help of Claudia Polizzi has been included in the 2019 ADI Index, the selection of design projects that will compete for the next Premio Compasso d’Oro.
Many thanks to all involved: Marco Pappalardo, Fabio Gobbato, Johanna Christine Wörndle Vegni, Silvia Fabbi, Guido M K Steinegger, Carmen Kollmann, Roman Clara, Franco Grigoletto, Silvia Amistadi, Monika Pichler, Kunigunde Weissenegger, Ivo corrà, Walter Donegà, Esperia Print Evolution.
“LP” is a transmedia editorial project (printed, digital and mobile), free and published by Provincia Bolzano in 40.000 copies. For further info and pictures click here!

LP 2 is hot off the press, the free magazine published by the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol in collaboration with a research team of the Free University of Bolzano led by Matto Moretti and Gianluca Camillini. The magazine has been realized thanks to the collaboration of Claudia Polizzi and the press agency of the Province.

Ogni faccia racconta molto di più di ciò che mostra, è identità e presentazione. I volti, fatti da variabili sempre uguali eppure sempre diverse, hanno incuriosito gli artisti di tutti i tempi.
