Open to the public in 2021, the new ADI Design Museum, promoted by ADI in partnership with the City of Milan, is a dynamic space of over 5,000 square metres housing the Compasso d’Oro collection, i. e. the objects that have won the prestigious award for Italian design from 1954 to the present day. Located in the former Enel area of Porta Volta in Milan, the exhibition design and layout is by Studio Migliore+Servetto Architects and Italo Lupi. The prestigious historical collection of more than two thousand items required a design and narrative approach capable of enhancing the value of a heritage that encompasses the evolution of culture, taste and technological development, in a dialogue with the contemporary world made up of exhibitions and moments of reflection on the active role of museums in relation to other national institutions and society, with the help of the web. Luciano Galimberti, president of ADI, shares his views on the subject in this interview.

The AIC-International Colour Association was founded in 1967 in Washington DC, USA, during the 16th Session of the CIE, and is formed by the federation of 30 national colour associations, thus gathering thousands of participants worldwide, including researchers, professionals, artists and enthusiasts, on all multidisciplinary topics of colour. In this capacity, it represents the authority on all activities and disciplines dealing with such an essential and transversal subject as Colour.
LUCE asked Maurizio Rossi, the new President-Elect of AIC and former President of the Gruppo del Colore (the Italian Colour Association) from 2010 to 2018, and a longstanding AIDI member, to take stock of the activities carried out by AIC in recent years and to indicate the objectives for the next two years. He also talked about how the Colour scenario has evolved over the last few decades and, in his role as director of the two Masters in Lighting Design & Technology and Color Design & Technology at Politecnico di Milano, he explained the relationship between light and colour.

Emiliana Martinelli, architect and designer, chairs the company that bears her surname, created by her father Elio in 1950. In the interview, she recalls the memories or the emotions raised by creation, the passion for observing and looking at objects with a special eye, to see what is behind them and not to overlook the different points of view. She likes to draw, and so we discover that she always carries a notebook with her so that she can immediately capture what strikes her, perhaps a shadow that makes her see an object. She tells us about a lamp conceived and made during the lockdown period, while staying at home and looking at the garden, but also about her old acquaintances, “great designers and great lessons for me”, such as Mari, Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, Mendini, Sapper, Zanuso or Gae Aulenti, who came to Martinelli when she was 38 years old, and whose first piece produced in 1965, the famous Pipistrello lamp, is still in the catalogue after 57 years. And the well-deserved joy of the Compasso d’Oro award in 2011 with a project by a then-unknown young man, Brian Sironi, and his Elica lamp.

Nel cuore del Parco Nazionale del Pollino, che si estende sull’Appennino meridionale cosentino, si è In the heart of the Pollino National Park, which stretches across the southern Cosentine Apennines, the architectural project for the new Church of Santa Maria Goretti, built for the diocese of Cassano all’Jonio in the small mountain town of Mormanno, has been completed. Designed by MC A – Mario Cucinella Architects and built on the hills overlooking the Calabrian town, it was recently inaugurated after eight years of work: it is an architecture capable of speaking through a contemporary language in dialogue with the specific nature of the place. Here the two creative disciplines of Architecture and Art meet and dialogue with the echo of the ancient Baroque structure. The interior of the building is a constant source of natural light, with daylight penetrating through the roof, filtered by a series of translucent veils hanging from the ceiling, an artwork by Giuseppe Maraniello.

Grazie ai suoi capolavori, Claude Monet ha influenzato il suo tempo ed è stato capace di definire il futuro

Thanks to his masterpieces, Claude Monet influenced his time and was able to define the future of art. The exhibition “Monet. Works from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris”, curated by Marianne Mathieu in collaboration with the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris and the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France, offered the public the artist’s excursus on the theme of light reflection. Still at the Palazzo Reale, “Magic Realism. An Italian Style”, curated by Gabriella Belli and Valerio Terraroli, and with the exhibition design by Mario Bellini and Raffaele Cipolletta, presented more than eighty masterpieces from this complex and fascinating artistic movement that developed between the two wars of the 20th century.
A common element, certainly unifying the two events, was the hand of Francesco Murano as lighting designer. We tried to better understand his work with him.
