I really liked November's cover of Domus mag,
because it featured a very nice project done my
friend Stefano Testa.
The project is excellent, the decision to have it on
the cover is great (bravo Joseph Grima), and I
really like this thing of having someone working
silently for more than twenty years and finally
getting a booooooooooom recognition on such a
big scale.
What else? Looking forward to see next

And here the link to the original article on Domus:

My friend's got Domus cover.
(Indeed...)

Milan
Berlusconi, he was the prime minister, he was a
funny guy, he was a gangster, a very simpatico old
chap. A lot of characters in the same person. He
was also a charmer, a liar, a successful
businessman... I guess Italians loved him so much
simply because he was a mirror for all of us (and
for some 20 years the majority of people really
liked to see themselves reflected into him). I've
been always impressed by his talent to use
material culture for his communication
necessities. The way he dressed, the houses he
lived, the swift use of interior design, make up,
clothes, masks... He was a master manipulator,
and, at this game he was best. Very fascinating
and very spooky. More images at: http://www.

Here the link to Paolo Roveri's archive wih a lot of
(telling) images of the young Silvio Berlusconi:
I'm not a saint, you've all
understood that.

Very nice to know that soon there will be a huge
exhibition covering all the dots made by Damien
Hirst through the years. More on his dots at: http:

We were busy preparing our things for Stuttgart
exhibition when Francesco Librizzi found this nice
pedestrian thing just opened in Germany. We were
impressed because of its similarity to our
"rollcoaster" piece (no one ever invents anything).
Anyway, Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth did a great
work. If you want to see more, here the link: http:

Rome
...Sitting with a Parrot...
Here we have Marisa Berenson, sitting with a
parrot in the Roman apartment of Cy Twombly.
For the (very) curious minded, she wears a white
organza dress by Valentino, and she was
photographed by Henry Clarke (to get in Vogue,
March 1968). I wasn't even born, mamma mia.
Very nice. Now, a book came out with all her life
in pictures (for people who lost some visual
chapters of her fascinating life): http://www.

Via Padova
Dinner at Pinocchio
There are some friends I meet once in a while, but
quite regularly. Franz Goria is one them. I like
when he comes to Milan and we have dinner at
trattoria Pinocchio. Lots of talk, chitchat this and
that. He always busy with lots of things, and to
spend an evening with him (drinking wine and
smoking some) is always a great gift. Franz has
several different characters. Here is the visual
person: http://www.chicchicken.cc/contact.html
Here is the rock performer: http://www.youtube.

Facebook, I can't post...)
Here you can hear his singing really nice: http:

Some days ago I went for dinner at Duilio Forte. It
was nice, as usual. I was very impressed by these
chocolate mices brought by Angela Rui. She
brought an army of them. All of them watching at
you with their marzipan eyes, perfectly aware of
their horrible fate...
