"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."
At the beginning of this month, I was in Rome with some friends: we had heard that Danny Elfman himself was going to be on stage at the Auditorium, performing some pieces from his soundtracks, and we're hardcore fans (I have mixed feelings about the...
I wanted to see this exhibition since it opened, but I couldn't come around to it: I wanted to go with a friend, and our schedules never matched (also because the house-museum is closed two days during the week). I got a chance to see...
These days at Palazzo Reale, there's a tailored exhibition of paintings by Paolo Troilo. It lasts until September 13th and it's hosted in the so-called Princes Apartments, a wing rich with the layered history of Palazzo Reale and, by association, of Milan itself. Paolo Troilo (Taranto,...
I am not ready. I am so not ready. I feel like I just got back from Taiwan (which I did), Rome in between, and now I must prepare to depart for Denmark and I am so not ready for the Design Week. Still, the...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an installation with pieces by Giorgio Armani at the Pinacoteca di Brera, here in Milan, and as a matter of fact that wasn't the only show around fashion I visited, which is unlike me. While I was in...
Last week I went to see a rather disappointing exhibition at our local Gallery of Modern Art, and the Contemporary Art Pavilion is just nearby, so I thought I'd try my luck a second time and see if the works on exhibition would make up...
Last month, I caught the opportunity of a few meetings I had in Venice and stayed around to catch this exhibition at the splendid Peggy Guggenheim Foundation, and it was stunning. You have time until March 2nd, and I strongly recommend you make time, if...
