Italian and American institutions, leading figures from the cultural, artistic, and economic sectors, as well as internationally renowned experts and professionals. A special opportunity to meet exceptional guests such as writers, filmmakers, historians, artists, Michelin-starred chefs, and influential figures from the Italian-American scene.
The discovery of America marks the beginning of a new modernity. From that moment on, the unmeasured scale of natural expanses, the vertical growth of cities, and even Mark Rothko’s abstract canvases find in the landscape a key to inner interpretation that unsettles the cradle of the European imagination. To the point of provoking a reversal as simple as Columbus’s egg, and the birth of a mutual fascination between the two sides of the Ocean – a fascination that still endures today and manifests itself in a thousand forms of design: from the most ephemeral (it is said that Sergio Leone shot some Western scenes in the Sardinian village of San Salvatore) to the hyper-realistic, which draws Americans to lose themselves in the countryside and historic centers of Italy.
Once again, the landscape proves to be a (new) world of relationships balanced between identity and difference.
