Pillole di Design – Dall’Italia a Washington

Pillole di design poster

Cari amici/amiche,

con piacere vi invitiamo a partecipare al diciottesimo appuntamento della serie Pillole di Design dall’Italia a Washington DC

In diretta da Firenze dal caffè letterario “Le Giubbe Rosse” con ospiti illustri.

Per oltre un secolo dietro le due grandi porte di vetro, si è respirato quel particolarissimo fervore intellettuale, che ai primi del Novecento ispirò tanti artisti.
Parliamo del Gran Caffè Giubbe Rosse, uno dei più noti caffè storici di Firenze e circolo artistico  culturale, ubicato nella centralissima Piazza della Repubblica.
Le Giubbe Rosse divennero uno dei principali ritrovi nella storia letteraria ed artistica del Novecento italiano: seduti ai tavolini, intenti a sorseggiare tè e caffè, provando a dare uno scossone all’ambiente culturale italiano, personaggi come Marinetti, Boccioni e Carrà pensavano a redigere il manifesto di una nuova corrente artistica.

Vi aspettiamo, cordiali saluti.
