Never loose purity
Magazine -> #25 Innovage“…that feeling we all have sometimes that everything we say or do is not our own, that we as people are only quotations from our environment, that we are carried along by the merciless stream of history and reality... the complications arise when one tries to give that feeling an identity.

Magazine -> #20 Home MadeCan you tell us how your blook was created? The process was different from the traditional route followed by Italian publishing and media.
