<p style="text-align:justify;"><b> </b></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Floracult</strong> shines a light on nature with a focus on sustainability and its culture with the book launch of “<strong>La mia vita a impatto zero</strong>” (My zero impact life) by <b>Paola Maugeri</b>. Paola Maugeri is known as VJ for Videomusic and MTV, a bright and warm-hearted individual who talked about her experiences, which she writes in her book: to have a zero impact lifestyle.</p>
<div id="attachment_21365" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21365" alt="Paola Maugeri" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-2.jpg?w=490&#038;h=460" width="490" height="460" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Paola Maugeri</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Though &#8211; as she asserted &#8211; it is not possible to have a zero impact lifestyle, a word she used to depict a lifestyle which is more conscious, respectful for the nature and its seasonal cycles. Her experiment consisted of living without electric energy, having water warmed by solar panels, reducing the use of computers and mobile phones to three hours a day and  eating the seasonal food (Paola is also vegan) as well as using candles instead of electric lights. She ate at 5:30 pm and slept at 6:30 pm.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-4-e1367320721365.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21366" alt="f 4 4" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-4-e1367320721365.jpg?w=480&#038;h=560" width="480" height="560" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This experience brought her new consciousnesses as well as a new time, a time she didn’t think of having, time to walk with her son, time to talk with herself, a time to think and read a book. She never had this as she, like most individuals in our times, focused on efficiency. She spoke about the difference between what is important and urgent, two simple words that reveal the (true or false) priorities that concern the behavior of a human being. The result of this experience has been a re-defining of her priorities. This change enriched her and she had the desire to share it with everyone because she sees living as sharing.</p>
<div id="attachment_21367" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 340px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-5-e1367320823862.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21367" alt="Ducks..." src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-5-e1367320823862.jpg?w=330&#038;h=640" width="330" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ducks&#8230;</p></div>
<div id="attachment_21368" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-6-e1367320886107.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21368" alt="...and roosters at Floracult" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-6-e1367320886107.jpg?w=480&#038;h=544" width="480" height="544" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#8230;and roosters at Floracult</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sustainability but also a hilarious interlude I shared with my darling friend of mine, the little big <b>Emma Santamaria</b>, sweet, beautiful and bright daughter of <b>Delfina Delettrez</b> and <b>Claudio Santamaria</b>, with pampers, phenomenology of tongue which licks the ice-cream, tales, as the tale of the book launch of “<b>Rosa Sublime</b>”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I told her about my hilarious tale (focused on my sunshade I couldn’t use as I thought) for ten consecutive times. A practice which made me smile as it reminded of me when I asked my mother for telling me a tale for ten consecutive times and if her voice was not enough clear I told her of drinking the water and continuing(like a little dictator).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-8-e1367321142808.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21370" alt="f 4 8" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-8-e1367321142808.jpg?w=480&#038;h=496" width="480" height="496" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The <a title="lavender" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7sIzWKHGwQ">lavender</a> one of my favorite flowers</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The value of sustainability was also made concrete by “<strong>Victory garden</strong>”, the hydroponics laboratory of <strong>Studio Mobile</strong> of <strong>Antonio Girardi</strong> and <strong>Cristiana Favretto</strong>, bright architects and dear friends, who are focused on the creation of hydroponics systems in order to avoid the waste of water. They proved that the hydroponics technique used for a vegetable garden saves over the 70% of water.</p>
<div id="attachment_21371" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-7.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21371" alt=" Cristiana Favretto and Antonio Girardi along with the hydroponics installation they made" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-7.jpg?w=490&#038;h=401" width="490" height="401" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><br />Cristiana Favretto and Antonio Girardi along with the hydroponics installation they made</p></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Last but not least, walking with <strong>Silvia Venturini Fendi</strong> I also discovered a wide selection of linen made out of vintage textiles from the 30&#8242;s the linen came from both Italy and Eastern Europe which evoked the scent, freshness and softness of a cloth which is rare to find today.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_21373" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 498px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21373" alt="Paola Maugeri" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-3.jpg?w=488&#038;h=480" width="488" height="480" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Paola Maugeri, photo by Giorgio Miserendino</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Floracult</strong> getta luce sulla natura, soffermandosi sulla sostenibilità e la sua cultura con la presentazione del libro di <b>Paola Maugeri</b> “<strong>La mia vita a impatto zero</strong>” (My zero impact life). Paola Maugeri è nota quale VJ di Videomusic e MTV, una brillante e calorosa individualità che ha parlato delle sue esperienze che scrive nel suo libro: avere uno stile di vita a impatto zero.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-10-e1367321529217.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21374" alt="f 4 10" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-10-e1367321529217.jpg?w=480&#038;h=640" width="480" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="Orchids" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVHmvYx0qjs">Orchids</a> at Floracult</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pur non essendo possibile &#8211; come é stato da lei affermato &#8211; avere uno stile di vita a impatto zero, una parola da lei usata per dipingere uno stile di vita che è più consapevole, rispettoso della natura e dei suoi cicli stagionali. Il suo esperimento consisteva nel vivere senza energia elettrica, avendo l’ acqua riscaldata dai pannelli solari, riducendo l’ uso di computer e cellulari a tre ore al giorno e mangiando il cibo di stagione (Paola è anche vegana) come anche usare le candele al posto dell’ energia elettrica. Costei mangiava alle ore 17:30 e andava a dormire alle ore 18:30.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21375" alt="f 4 11" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-11.jpg?w=490&#038;h=418" width="490" height="418" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Questa esperienza è stata per lei foriera di nuove consapevolezze come anche di un nuovo tempo, un tempo che non pensava di avere, tempo per passeggiare con suo figlio, tempo per pensare e leggere un libro. Non ha mai avuto ciò poiché, come la maggior parte degli individui della nostra epoca, si soffermava sull’ efficienza. Ha parlato della differenza tra ciò che è importante e urgente, due semplici parole che rivelano le priorità ( vere o false) che riguardano il comportamento di un essere umano. Il risultato di questa esperienza è stata una ridefinizione delle sue priorità. Questo cambiamento la arricchita ed ha avuto il desiderio di condividere con tutti ciò poichè vede la vita come condivisione.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-12-e1367321745931.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21376" alt="f 4 12" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-12-e1367321745931.jpg?w=476&#038;h=640" width="476" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sostenibilità ma anche un ilare intermezzo che ho condiviso con una carissima amica mia, la piccola grande <b>Emma Santamaria</b>, dolce, bella e brillante figlia di <b>Delfina Delettrez</b> e <b>Claudio Santamaria</b>, con coccole, fenomenologia della lingua che lecca il gelato, racconti come il racconto della presentazione del libro pampers “<b>Rosa Sublime</b>”.</p>
<div id="attachment_21377" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-9-e1367321843576.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21377" alt="The textiles by Ai Canapai" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-9-e1367321843576.jpg?w=480&#038;h=608" width="480" height="608" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The textiles by Ai Canapai</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le ho raccontato la mia ilare storia (incentrata sul mio parasole che non ho potuto usare diversamente da come pensavo) per dieci volte consecutive. Una pratica che mi ha fatto sorridere poichè mi ricordava quando chiedevo a mia madre di raccontarmi una storia per dieci volte consecutive e se la sua voce non era abbastanza chiara le dicevo di bere l’ acqua e continuare (come un piccolo dittatore).</p>
<div id="attachment_21378" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-13.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21378" alt="Ilaria Venturini Fendi and me, photo by Giorgio Miserendino" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-13.jpg?w=490&#038;h=397" width="490" height="397" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ilaria Venturini Fendi and me, photo by Giorgio Miserendino</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il valore della sostenibilità è stato anche concretizzato da “<b>Victory garden</b>”, il laboratorio di idroponica di <b>Studio Mobile</b> di <b>Antonio Girardi</b> e <b>Cristiana Favretto</b>, brillanti architetti e cari amici che sono dediti alla creazione di sistemi idroponici al fice di evitare lo spreco di acqua. Hanno dimostrato che la tecnica idroponica usata per un orto risparmia oltre il 70% di acqua.</p>
<div id="attachment_21379" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-14-e1367322039227.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21379" alt="Humberto Campana" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-14-e1367322039227.jpg?w=480&#038;h=608" width="480" height="608" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Humberto Campana</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ultimo ma non meno importante, passeggiando con <strong>Silvia Venturini Fendi</strong> ho anche scoperto una ampia selezione di lino, fatto di tessuti vintage degli Anni ’30, il lino proveniva sia dall’ Italia sia dall’ Est Europa che evocava il profumo, la freschezza e morbidezza di un tessuto che è raro da trovare oggi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-16-e1367322136332.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21380" alt="f 4 16" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-4-16-e1367322136332.jpg?w=370&#038;h=640" width="370" height="640" /></a></p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nature, its culture, art, design and fashion that celebrate old tradition, craftsmanship and sustainability have been the main features at <a title="Floracult" href="www.floracult.com"><b>Floracult</b></a>, the event created by the pioneer fashion designer &#8211; of <a title="Carmina Campus" href="www.carminacampus.com"><b>Carmina Campus</b></a>, brand of ethical fashion which promotes the culture of re-use &#8211; which was held in the Rome countryside at <b>La Storta</b>, <b>I Casali del Pino</b>, staged by <b>Studio Dottor</b>, architects studio of <b>Pietro Dottor</b>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One of the features has been the <b>Scuola per reinventori</b> (School for re-inventors), in its second edition, curated by <b>Clara Tosi Pamphili</b> and <b>Alessio De Navasques </b>which hosted a factory of hand-embroidery and installation that showcased the sketches by <b>Vincenzo Montini </b>along with the vintage clothes by <b>Elisabeth the first</b>. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_21340" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 484px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-2-e1367311015539.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21340" alt="The school for re-inventors" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-2-e1367311015539.jpg?w=474&#038;h=640" width="474" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The school for re-inventors</p></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was also on show a bright idea, the <b>digital vegetable garden</b>, which joined the multimedia and the vegetable world, giving the chance to know immediately and easily about a grass by clicking on the picture of a grass.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_21345" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 487px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-11-e1367312456604.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21345" alt="The digital garden...and..." src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-11-e1367312456604.jpg?w=477&#038;h=640" width="477" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The digital garden&#8230;and&#8230;</p></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I also was pleasantly amazed by the exhibition of photographs made by the visual and performer artist <b>Emiliano Maggi </b>which told about the tradition of boar-hunting under the sign of grotesque suggestions.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Craftsmanship, art and jewelry as the creations by <b>Delfina Delettrez</b>, little creatures made of silver, gold and enamel.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_21350" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-19-e1367313645487.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21350" alt="Delfina Delettrez" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-19-e1367313645487.jpg?w=480&#038;h=576" width="480" height="576" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Delfina Delettrez</p></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Suggestions concerning interior design by <b>Costanza Algranti</b>, we spoke and she told me how she found everything in the roof oxidized that became an intrinsic part of the furniture she created. The shades depict the silhouette of a woman and other lyrical suggestions that make these creations something beyond interior design and closer to an artwork.<b></b></p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Natura, la sua cultura, arte, design e moda che celebrano l’ antica tradizione, l’ artigianalità e la sostenibilità sono stati i principali protagonisti di <a title="Floracult" href="www.floracult.com"><b>Floracult</b></a>, l’ evento creato dalla pionieristica fashion designer &#8211; di <a title="Carmina Campus" href="www.carminacampus.com"><b>Carmina Campus</b></a>, brand of moda ethical che promuove la cultura del riuso &#8211; che si è tenuto nella campagna di Roma, a <b>La Storta</b>, <b>I Casali del Pino</b>, allestiti da <b>Studio Dottor</b>, lo studio di architetti di <b>Pietro Dottor</b>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uno dei protagonisti è stata la <b>Scuola per reinventori</b>, curata da<b> Clara Tosi Pamphili</b> e <b>Alessio De Navasques</b> che ha ospitato nella sua seconda edizione un laboratorio di ricamo a mano e una installazione che ha esposto i disegni di <b>Vincenzo Montini </b>unitamente agli abiti di <b>Elisabeth the first</b>.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">È stata anche in mostra una brillante idea, l’ <b>orto digitale</b> che ha unito la multimedialità e il mondo vegetale, offrendo la possibilità di conoscere immediatamente e facilmente una pianta cliccando sull’ immagine di una pianta.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p><div id="attachment_21356" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-10-e1367314289577.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21356" alt="The School for re-inventors featuring the sketches by Vincenzo Montini" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-10-e1367314289577.jpg?w=480&#038;h=544" width="480" height="544" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The School for re-inventors featuring the sketches by Vincenzo Montini</p></div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sono stata anche piacevolmente stupita dalla mostra di fotografia realizzate dall’ artista e performer <b>Emiliano Maggi </b>che raccontava la tradizione della caccia al cinghiale all’ insegna di grottesche suggestioni.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p><div id="attachment_21357" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 382px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-17-e1367314401667.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21357" alt="Emiliano Maggi" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-17-e1367314401667.jpg?w=372&#038;h=640" width="372" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Emiliano Maggi</p></div>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Artigianalità, arte e gioielli come le creazioni di <b>Delfina Delettrez</b>, piccole creature realizzate in argento, oro e smalto.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_21359" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 411px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-20-e1367314516202.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21359" alt="Delfina Delettrez and me" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-3-20-e1367314516202.jpg?w=401&#038;h=640" width="401" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Delfina Delettrez and me</p></div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le suggestioni inerenti l’ interior design di <b>Costanza Algranti</b>, con cui ho parlato e mi ha detto come abbia trovato tutto nei tetti ossidati che sono diventati una parte intrinseca dei componenti d’ arredo da lei create. Le sfumature ritraggono la silhouette di una donna e altre suggestioni liriche che rendono queste creazioni qualcosa che va al di là dell’ interior design ed è più vicino a un’ opera d’ arte.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">One of this marvelous happenings concerns my meeting with <b>Stefano Mancuso</b>, expert of vegetal neurology, director of LINV ( International Laboratory of Vegetal Neurology) who featured in the book launch of “<b>Verde brillante. Sensibilità e intelligenza del mondo vegetale</b> (Bright green. Sensibility and intelligence of vegetal world)” he wrote.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This event surprise me every year with new discoveries, successful meetings around a slow conscious and sustainable lifestyle.</p>
<div id="attachment_21310" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 424px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-4-e1367263829342.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21310" alt="The no-profit association Oxfam Italia featuring in Floracult" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-4-e1367263829342.jpg?w=414&#038;h=640" width="414" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The no-profit association Oxfam Italia featuring in Floracult</p></div>

<p><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-9-e1367264271633.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21316" alt="f 2 9" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-9-e1367264271633.jpg?w=480&#038;h=560" width="480" height="560" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I was amazed by the cross pollination from one grass to another, a practice which generates addiction of the insect. Another weird discovery concerned the relationship between a tree and the ants that are hosted and nourished by that tree, its body contains ingredients that create addiction and make the ants more aggressive. In fact the ants fight against every (little or big) creature to protect the tree.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-10-e1367264493624.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21318" alt="f 2 10" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-10-e1367264493624.jpg?w=480&#038;h=640" width="480" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I talked hilariously to Stefano about the vegetal creatures that play a role of mistress and pushers. The sensitivity evidenced in the vegetal world like the mimosa pudica (“pudica” stands as “prudish”), a kind of mimosa which reacts to the touch of a hand.</p>
<div id="attachment_21317" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-13.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21317" alt="The prudish mimosa" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-13.jpg?w=490&#038;h=337" width="490" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The prudish mimosa</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Stefano modestly encourages the knowledge and its sharing I consider this to be one of the beautiful gifts that came out of Floracult.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-11-e1367266565765.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21319" alt="f 2 11" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-11-e1367266565765.jpg?w=419&#038;h=640" width="419" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“<b>Rosa Sublime</b>” book launch celebrates the family tradition of <b>Vittorio Barni</b>, the production and creation of new types of roses like the <b>Mariangela Melato rose</b>, a white rose that had been presented to the sister of the iconic Italian actress who passed away recently. <b>Emma Bonino</b>, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italian Government, the actress <b>Isabella Ferrari</b> and the director Lina Wertmuller all spoke about Mariangela Melato and her sense of freedom which the white rose in her honor evokes.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">One day under the sign of nature I was pleased to share with <a title="Myriam B." href="www.myriamb.it"><b>Myriam B.</b></a>, bright fashion designer and dear friend of mine along with other friends.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><b>FLORACULT (1): TRE GIORNI ALL’ INSEGNA DELLA NATURA &#38; SOSTENIBILITÀ</b></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-14-e1367267597441.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21328" alt="f 2 14" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-14-e1367267597441.jpg?w=480&#038;h=544" width="480" height="544" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La quarta edizione di <b><a title="Floracult" href="www.floracult.com "><b>Floracult</b></a></b>, l’ evento creato dalla illuminata fashion designer di <a title="Carmina Campus" href="www.carminacampus.com "><b>Carmina Campus</b></a> e attivista <b>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</b> ha avuto quali protagonisti molti profumi, colori, sapori ed eventi che celebrano tutti la natura e si è tenuto nella campagna di <b>Roma</b>, presso<b> La Storta</b>, a <b>I Casali del Pino</b>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-15-e1367268781110.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21329" alt="f 2 15" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-15-e1367268781110.jpg?w=400&#038;h=640" width="400" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>Questo evento mi sorprende ogni anno con nuove scoperte, felici incontri all’ insegna di uno stile di vita slow, consapevole e sostenibile.</p>
<p><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-16-e1367268894199.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21330" alt="f 2 16" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-16-e1367268894199.jpg?w=480&#038;h=640" width="480" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uno di questi meravigliosi happenings riguarda il mio incontro con <b>Stefano Mancuso</b>, esperto di neurologia vegetale, direttore del LINV (Laboratorio Internazionale di Neurologia Vegetale) che è stato protagonista della presentazione del libro da lui scritto “<b>Verde brillante. Sensibilità e intelligenza del mondo vegetale</b>”.</p>
<div id="attachment_21331" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 327px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-17-e1367268994996.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21331" alt="Anna Fendi" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-17-e1367268994996.jpg?w=317&#038;h=640" width="317" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anna Fendi</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mi ha stupito l’ impollinazione da una pianta all’ altra, una pratica che genera la dipendenza dell’ insetto. Un’ altra bizzarra scoperta riguardava la relazione tra un albero e le formiche che sono ospitate e nutrite da quell’ albero, il suo corpo contiene ingredienti che generano dipendenza e rendono le formiche più aggressive. Infatti le formiche combattono contro ogni ( piccola o grande) creatura per proteggere l’ albero.</p>
<div id="attachment_21332" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-25-e1367269154250.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21332" alt="Myriam B. and the Barni roses" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-25-e1367269154250.jpg?w=480&#038;h=496" width="480" height="496" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Myriam B. and the Barni roses</p></div>
<p>Ho parlato con ilarità a Stefano delle creature vegetali che interpretano un ruolo di mistress e pushers, della sensibilità dimostrata nel mondo vegetale come dalla mimosa pudica, un tipo di mimosa che reagisce al tocco di una mano.</p>
<div id="attachment_21333" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-26.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21333" alt="Carnation, a flower which is the root of my family name" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-26.jpg?w=490&#038;h=438" width="490" height="438" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Carnation, a flower which is the root of my family name</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Stefano incoraggia con modestia la conoscenza e la sua condivisione che considero essere uno dei bei regali provenienti da Floracult.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La presentazione del libro “<b>Rosa Sublime</b>” celebra la tradizione di famiglia di <b>Vittorio Barni</b>, la produzione e creazione di nuovi tipi di rose come la <b>rosa Mariangela Melato</b>, una rosa bianca che è stata presentata alla sorella dell’ iconica attrice italiana che è recentemente venuta a mancare. <b>Emma Bonino</b>, il Ministro degli Esteri del Governo italiano, l’ attrice <b>Isabella Ferrari</b> e la regista <b>Lina Wertmuller</b> hanno tutte parlato di Mariangela Melato ed il suo senso per la libertà che la rosa bianca in suo onore evoca.</p>
<div id="attachment_21334" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 378px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-27-e1367269357467.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-21334" alt="Me at Floracult" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/f-2-27-e1367269357467.jpg?w=368&#038;h=640" width="368" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Me at Floracult</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un giorno all’ insegna della natura che sono stata lieta di condividere con <b><a title="Myriam B." href="www.myriamb.it"><b>Myriam B.</b></a></b>, brillante fashion designer e cara amica mia unitamente ad altri miei amici.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Floracult este o expozitie de flori, dedicata celor care iubesc natura, celor care fac din cresterea florilor un hobby sau un mod de viata. </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Ajunsa la a 3a editie, aceasta expozitie este organizata de Ilaria Venturini <a class="zem_slink" title="Fendi" href="http://www.lyst.com/fendi/" rel="lyst" target="_blank">Fendi</a> (pe care am onoarea sa o cunosc) la ferma sa I Casali del Pino, aflata in parcul <a class="zem_slink" title="Veii" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.0238888889,12.4013888889&#38;spn=0.1,0.1&#38;q=42.0238888889,12.4013888889 (Veii)&#38;t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank">Veio</a>, din apropierea Romei. </span></em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6281" title="ilvf" src="http://ra3pop.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/ilvf.jpg?w=200&#038;h=299" alt="" width="200" height="299" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6282" title="Picture 3" src="http://ra3pop.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/picture-3.png?w=535&#038;h=401" alt="" width="535" height="401" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">M-am numarat printre vizitatorii din acest an si vreau sa va spun ca a fost o experienta unica pe care as repeta-o oricand! Mai ales ca sunt o mare iubitoare de flori, am atatea flori pe care le ingrijesc ca si cum ar fi parte din familie, dar si pentru ca locul e minunat si aflandu-ma acolo m-am surprins visand cu ochii deschisi la viata aceea calma si frumoasa de la tara, la copilaria fericita in care laptele insemna a-l bea direct de la tata vacii si dimineata incepea hranind animalele din curte&#8230; Cred ca in ziua de azi, in societatea in care traim, ne inselam daca ne gandim ca luxul inseamna masini scumpe si vacante pe yachturi&#8230; Lux inseamna pentru mine o viata frumoasa, eco, hrana bio, linistea serii, magia diminetii, culorile apusului nepatat de poluare, trilul pasarilor, nechezatul cailor, fosnetul copacilor, adierea vantului in parul meu, multa dragoste, zambete si voie buna. Acestea sunt cele care ne lipsesc cu desavarsire in ziua de azi. Banii se fac si bunurile materiale le poti cumpara, dar viata aceasta feerica, ei bine &#8211; pe asta ca sa o ai, trebuie sa fii intr-adevar norocos!!! Ilaria are acolo un colt de Rai, un Paradis numai al ei, pe care ocazional il imparte cu prietenii, sau in cazul acesta, cu toti cei care vin sa viziteze expozitia. </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Mereu mi-am imaginat ca o ferma inseamna ce am vazut eu in copilaria mea la tara, ceva nici mic, dar nici nemarginit, cu animale, cateva randuri cu rosii, cateva vinete, ceva ardei gras si cam asta era ferma <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  din mintea mea. Mama, prietena fiind cu Ilaria, imi povestea despre acest loc frunos, insa imaginatia mea nu mergea atat de departe incat sa imi inchipui ca daca Raiul ar exista, atunci el s-ar gasi la I Casali del Pino!!! Ferma aceasta se intindea pe pamant cat vedeai cu ochii si pe alocuri se unea cu cerul!!!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Amuzant este ca am avut de ales intre o zi de plaja, o zi sub soare la <a class="zem_slink" title="Fregenae" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregenae" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Fregene</a> &#8211; pe care atat de mult il iubesc si o zi la Floracult. Spun amuzant, pentru ca as fi pierdut imens alegand sa nu merg la expozitie. Mama si Dominique aproape ca m-au luat pe sus, eram nedormita (dupa o noapte la Roma si intoarsa la Fregene cu trenul dupa ce am pierdut un tren de sub ochii mei, m-au urcat in masina aproape luata cu forta de pe drumul dintre Maccarese si Fregene) si singurul meu gand era ca pierd o zi de plaja&#8230; Va mira? Suna superficial? NU e, pt ca atunci cand e soare si e si mare, inima mea bate mai tare (nah, ca am fct si o rima)!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Anyway, am ajuns la locatie, dupa un drum de aproape 45 de minute, avand ca fundal muzica Ornellei Vanoni si niste peisaje de vis.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#000000;">Ceea ce am vazut acolo, e imposibil de descris in cuvinte, asa ca las pozele sa imi fie marturie celor spuse de mine.</span></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_14768" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_19301.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-14768" title="IMG_1930" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_19301.jpg?w=480&#038;h=640" alt="" width="480" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Floracult</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It has recently held at <strong>I Casali del Pino</strong> &#8211; enchanting place in the <strong>Rome</strong> countryside &#8211; the third edition of <strong>Floracult</strong>, event ideated by the pioneer designer &#8211; creator of ethical fashion brand <strong>Carmina Campus</strong> &#8211; and darling friend <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</strong> celebrating the nature and its culture. Here it featured marvelous exhibitions of flowers, animals as well as the catchy bags, accessories and furnishing by Carmina Campus. The event also included smashing initiatives as the vibrant show by <strong>Le Voci nel deserto</strong> &#8211; where the ideas asserted yesterday by legendary personas as Einstein and many other ones fully depict the contemporary status quo -, “<strong>Re-watering</strong>” the installation by <strong>Studio Mobile</strong> &#8211; architects duo formed by <strong>Cristiana Favretto</strong> and <strong>Antonio Girardi</strong> &#8211; making concrete the idea of recycle water, producing a sound(evoking the minimalism by John Cage), the re-inventors school directed by <strong>Clara Tosi Pamphili</strong>, featuring in its closing session <strong>Luigi</strong> <strong>Serafini</strong>, author of book “<strong>Storie Naturali</strong>” (Rizzoli, 300 Euros), illustrating the tales by <strong>Jules Renard</strong> &#8211; of whose smashing drawings he made depict the nature, its hosts and making me think about another suggestive book for the children of every age “<strong>Sick monsters</strong>” by <strong>Emmanuelle Houdart</strong> (Il Castoro Editions 25,00 Euros) &#8211; and a series of talks I appreciated as the one featuring <strong>Marco Baudino</strong> and <strong>Paolo Sambo</strong> who evidenced  how it could be give rise to a sustainable circuit and producing energy or rather biogas by the use of bio vases <strong>Biopot</strong> made of rice chaff, totally recyclable, considering also the experience of a biogas central working in Switzerland at St. Moritz( precious contribution to start discussing and developing a policy under the sign of sustainability, hopefully eliminating the issue of dumps, trouble involving today the area of Riano Romano, place where the Lazio Region would want to build a dump). A laudable event, successful chance to enjoy the nature, rediscover and love that.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>I COLORI, PROFUMI &#38; LA CULTURA DELLA NATURA DA FLORACULT DI ILARIA VENTURINI FENDI</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1903.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14769" title="IMG_1903" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1903.jpg?w=480&#038;h=640" alt="" width="480" height="640" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si è recentemente tenuto presso <strong>I Casali del Pino</strong> &#8211; incantevole luogo della campagna romana &#8211; la terza edizione di <strong>Floracult</strong>, evento ideato dalla pionieristica designer &#8211; creatrice del brand di moda ethical <strong>Carmina Campus</strong> &#8211; e cara amica <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</strong> che celebra la natura e la sua cultura. Ivi sono state protagoniste meravigliose esposizioni di fiori, animali come anche delle accattivanti borse, accessori e componenti di arredo di Carmina Campus. L’ evento ha anche incluso formidabili iniziative quali il vibrante spettacolo di <strong>Le Voci nel deserto</strong> &#8211; in cui le idee affermate ieri da leggendari personaggi quali Einstein dipingono lo status quo contemporaneo -, “<strong>Re-watering</strong>”, l’ installazione di <strong>Studio Mobile</strong> &#8211; duo di architetti formato da <strong>Cristiana Favretto</strong> e <strong>Antonio Girardi</strong> &#8211; che concretizza l’ idea del riciclo dell’acqua, produce un suono (evocando il minimalismo di John Cage), la scuola per i reinventori diretta da <strong>Clara Tosi Pamphili</strong>, di cui é stato protagonista nella sua sessione conclusiva <strong>Luigi</strong> <strong>Serafini</strong>, autore del libro “<strong>Storie Naturali</strong>” (Rizzoli, 300 Euro) che illustra i racconti di <strong>Jules Renard</strong> &#8211; le cui formidabili illustrazioni da lui realizzate ritraggono la natura, i suoi ospiti e mi ricordano un altro suggestivo libro per i bambini di tutte le età “<strong>Mostri ammalati</strong>” di <strong>Emmanuelle Houdart</strong> (Il Castoro Edizioni 25,00 Euro) &#8211; ed una serie di talk che ho apprezzato quale uno di cui sono stati protagonisti <strong>Marco Baudino</strong> e <strong>Paolo Sambo</strong> che hanno dimostrato come si potrebbe dar vita a un circuito sostenibile e produrre energia o meglio biogas mediante l’ uso dei bio vasi <strong>Biopot</strong>, fatti di lolla di riso, materiale totalmente riciclabile, prendendo in considerazione anche l’ esperienza di una centrale di biogas in funzione in Svizzera a St. Moritz(prezioso contributo per iniziare a discutere e consolidare una politica all’ insegna della sostenibilità, eliminando sperabilmente la questione delle discariche, problematica che coinvolge oggi l’ area di Riano Romano, luogo in cui la Regione Lazio vorrebbe costruire una discarica). Un evento lodevole, felice occasione per apprezzare la natura, riscoprirla e amarla.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">“Less is more”, quotation concerning the idea of elegance asserted yesterday by<strong> Lord George Bryan Brummel </strong>- iconic dandy, well known as “The Beau” -, makes me think about the sophisticated elegance of furnishing made by <strong>AVF</strong>, brand created by the charismatic<strong> Anna Venturini Fendi</strong>, presented during the latest edition of <strong><a href="http://www.floracult.com/">Floracult</a></strong>, suggestive event created by the bright <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</strong> which was recently held in Rome at<strong> I Casali Del Pino</strong>. Here I enjoyed the furnishing created by the designer including sofas, beds, magnificent lamps and tables made of iron, wood, copper, leather, glass &#8211; as the magnificent glass tables of whose structure is made of ancient working copper siphons &#8211; along with wonderful accessories as vases, dinner sets, leather and fur quilts, depicting an idea of furnishing interiors under the sign of a refined and catchy aesthetics, creating airy and comfortable interiors. The collection presented by the creative features in another smashing project launched by her, celebrating the art of design and creativity, the residency <strong>Villa Laetitia in Rome</strong>. The magnificent villa, placed in the area of Rome historical centre, ideated by <strong>Arturo Brassini</strong> in the early Nineties, thought as a permanent show-room, inspired to the idea of “making home”, affords the efficiency of a structure to welcome the guests, exhibits and also gives the chance of purchasing the furnishings that accompany the pleasant stay at Villa Laetitia. The new concept of fashion design hotellerie ideated by Anna Venturini Fendi has also another awesome location, placed in the picturesque<strong> Ponza</strong>. Two enchanting places to stay, a precious suggestion for all the ones who consider elegance as lifestyle.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">“Il meno é più “, frase che si riferisce all’idea di eleganza affermata ieri da<strong> Lord George Bryan Brummel </strong>- iconico dandy, noto come “Il Beau” -, mi fa pensare alla sofisticata eleganza degli interni realizzati da <strong>AVF</strong>, brand creato dalla carismatica<strong> Anna Venturini Fendi</strong>, presentati in occasione di <strong><a href="http://www.floracult.com/">Floracult</a></strong>, suggestivo evento creato dalla brillante <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</strong> che si è recentemente tenuto a<strong> Roma</strong> presso <strong>I Casali Del Pino</strong>. Ivi ho apprezzato i componenti d’arredo e oggetti di design creati dalla designer che includono poltrone, sedie, letti, lampade e tavoli realizzati in ferro, legno, rame, pelle, vetro &#8211; quali I magnifici tavoli in vetro la cui struttura é realizzata da antichi sifoni di rame funzionanti &#8211; unitamente a meravigliosi accessori quali vasi, servizi da tavola, coperte in pelle e pelliccia che dipingono un’idea di arredare gli ambienti all’insegna di una raffinata e accattivante estetica, creando ambienti ariosi e confortevoli. La collezione presentata dalla creativa è protagonista di un altro formidabile progetto da lei  lanciato che celebra l’ arte del deisgn e la creatività, la residenza <strong>Villa Laetitia a Roma</strong>. La magnifica villa, situata nei dintorni del centro storico di Roma, ideata da <strong>Arturo Brassini</strong> nei primi anni del Novecento, pensata quale show-room permanente, ispirata all’idea di fare casa, offre l’efficienza di un struttura che accoglie gli ospiti, espone e dà anche la possibilità di acquistare gli arredi che accompagnano il felice soggiorno a Villa Laetitia. Il nuovo concept di fashion design hotellerie ideato da Anna Venturini Fendi ha anche un’altra fantastica location da apprezzare, situata nella pittoresca <strong>Ponza</strong>. Due luoghi incantevoli in cui stare, un prezioso suggerimento per tutti coloro che considerano l’eleganza uno stile di vita.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">“Beauty is nature&#8217;s coin, must not be hoarded, but must be current”, quotation &#8211; featuring in the <strong>Comus</strong> &#8211; by the British poet<strong> John Milton </strong>that makes me thinking about the core of<strong> <a href="http://www.floracult.com/">Floracult</a></strong> &#8211; event created by<strong> Ilaria Venturini Fendi </strong>which was held at the “<strong>I Casali del Pino</strong>” &#8211; as it evidences <strong>Jellyfish Farm</strong>, hydroponic installation, here exhibited, made by <strong>Studiomobile</strong>  or the dear Venice friends <strong>Antonio Girardi</strong> and <strong>Cristiana Favretto</strong> &#8211; couple in the work and life &#8211; aka<strong> the Jellyfish</strong>. Art and technology join to make the world better. Bright idea to spread a laudable message &#8211; it can change and make to get better the environment, bringing water the water in the areas lacking that and increase green areas and farmings &#8211; by using a catchy aesthetics that evokes futuristic evokes suggestions, supported by a healthy ethic, a loving act celebrating the environment. I wish the installation, prototype of laudable project by the Jellyfish, can soon become reality, bringing &#8211; desalinated &#8211; water where it needs more, I think about  Africa, but also other unlucky countries where water it’s a luxury.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">“La bellezza è la moneta della natura, non bisogna accumularla, ma farla circolare”, affermazione &#8211; che appare nel <strong>Comus</strong> &#8211; del poeta inglese<strong> John Milton </strong>che mi fa pensare al nucleo fondamentale di<strong><a href="http://www.floracult.com/">Floracult</a></strong> - evento creato da<strong> Ilaria Venturini Fendi </strong>che si è tenuto presso “<strong>I Casali del Pino</strong>” &#8211; come dimostra <strong>Jellyfish Farm</strong>, installazione idroponica, ivi esposta realizzata da <strong>Studiomobile</strong>  ovvero i cari amici veneziani <strong>Antonio Girardi</strong> e <strong>Cristiana Favretto</strong> &#8211; coppia nel lavoro e nella vita &#8211; aka<strong> i Jellyfish</strong>. Arte e tecnologia si uniscono per rendere il mondo migliore, brillante idea per diffondere un lodevole messaggio &#8211; si può cambiare e migliorare l’ambiente, portando l’acqua nelle aree che ne sono prive e accrescere aree verdi e coltivazioni &#8211; usando un’estetica accattivante che evoca suggestioni futuristiche, sorretta da una salubre etica, un amorevole atto che celebra l’ambiente. Mi auguro che l’installazione, prototipo del lodevole progetto dei Jellyfish, possa presto diventare realtà, portando acqua &#8211; desalinizzata &#8211; laddove c’è ne è più bisogno, penso all’Africa, ma anche ad altre regioni sfortunate in cui l’acqua é un lusso.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/merletto-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10133" title="merletto 1" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/merletto-11.jpg?w=490&#038;h=367" alt="" width="490" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nature, tradition, art and craftsmanship features in Floracult &#8211; event ideated by <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi </strong>which was recently held<strong> in Rome at &#8220;I Casali Del Pino&#8221;</strong> - along with laces exhibited by<strong> Gina Russo</strong>, a smashing individual who transmitted her love for lace to her daughter <strong>Isabella Tegani</strong>, modest, kind and hard-working individual who is Venice native and based in Rome. Here I enjoyed small, big masterpieces of craftsmanship made of pillow lace, Cantù, Venice lace  and many other ancient laces from the Early Twentieth century. Museum items &#8211; evidencing the great work of research made by mother and daughter - as a wonderful late Nineteenth century shawl as well as homewear, evoking  the beauty of handmade creations, old techniques being a treasure of culture to not forget.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>LE MERLETTAIE MAGICHE A FLORACULT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><a href="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/merletto-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10134" title="merletto 5" src="http://fashionbeyondfashion.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/merletto-5.jpg?w=490&#038;h=846" alt="" width="490" height="846" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Natura, tradizione, arte e artigianalità sono protagonisti di Floracult  - evento ideato da <strong>Ilaria Venturini Fendi</strong> che si è tenuto recentemente a <strong>Roma</strong> presso <strong>&#8220;I Casali del Pino&#8221;</strong>- unitamente ai merletti esposti da<strong> Gina Russo</strong>, formidabile  donna che ha trasmesso il suo amore per il merletto a sua figlia <strong>Isabella Tegani</strong>, modesta, gentile e operosa individualità che è natia di Venezia e vive a Roma. Ivi ho apprezzato i piccoli, grandi capolavori di artigianato, realizzato in tombolo, pizzo di Cantù, merletto veneziano e molti altri antichi merletti del tardo diciannovesimo secolo. Pezzi da museo &#8211; che evidenziano il grande lavoro di ricerca effettuato da madre e figlia &#8211; quali un meraviglioso scialle di fine Ottocento come anche la biancheria per la casa che evoca la bellezza delle creazioni fatte a mano, antiche tecniche che sono un patrimonio di cultura da non dimenticare.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Floracult</strong>, a three-days event  celebrating the nature has recently opened at the agritourism “<strong>I Casali del Pino</strong>”, an enchanting village &#8211; renovated  by using of bio-architecture techniques by the architect <strong>Domenico Straface</strong>, made by <strong>Dottor </strong>- in the suggestive <strong>Rome </strong>countryside, created by <strong>Ilaria Venturini</strong><strong> Fendi</strong>, vibrant woman and bright designer of brand <strong>Carmina Campus</strong>, featuring art, fashion and culture paying homage to the nature, its inhabitants and the products arising from that. Here it shines the colors of many flowers and grasses, exhibited along with masterpieces of craftsmanship as the shoes made by <strong>Giulia Campeol</strong>, a fun interpretation of the Friulane &#8211; typical Venice shoes &#8211; the sculptures and installations created by <strong>Serge Van de Put </strong>and <strong>Johannes Dimpfilmeier</strong>, being under the sign of recycle and re-use, paradigm promoted by Ilaria Venturini Fendi &#8211; pioneer of ethical fashion in Italy -, the time stops and it happens &#8211; as I experienced &#8211; to dive into beauty, peace, emotions and feelings deeply connected to humanity. Colors, scents, genuine flavours and sweet emotions are accompanying my wonderful days at Floracult, successfully evidencing to which extent man can re-think about itself, change and make the world better, just looking at nature, learning by its modest and simple lessons, taking care of itself as well as its hosts.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Floracult</strong>, un evento di tre giorni che celebra la natura é stato recentemente inaugurato presso l’azienda di agriturismo “<strong>I Casali del Pino</strong>”, incantevole borgo &#8211; ristrutturato avvalendosi delle tecniche di bio-architettura dell’architetto <strong>Domenico Straface</strong>, realizzate da <strong>Dottor </strong>- nella suggestiva  campagna di <strong>Roma</strong>, creato da <strong>Ilaria Venturini</strong><strong> Fendi</strong>, vibrante individualità e brillante designer del brand <strong>Carmina Campus</strong> di cui sé protagonista l’ arte, moda e cultura che omaggiano la natura, i suoi piccoli abitanti ed i prodotti da essa derivanti. Ivi splendono i colori di plurimi fiori e piante, esposti unitamente a capolavori di artigianalità quali le scarpe realizzate da <strong>Giulia Campeol</strong>, una divertente interpretazione delle Friulane &#8211; tipica calzatura veneziana -, le installazioni  e sculture create da <strong>Serge Van de Put</strong> e<strong> Johannes Dimpfilmeier</strong> all’insegna del riciclo e ri-uso, paradigma promosso da Ilaria Venturini Fendi &#8211; pioniere della moda ethical in Italia -, il tempo si ferma e accade – come ho sperimentato – di immergersi nella bellezza, pace, emozioni e sensazioni profondamente connesse all’umanità. Colori, profumi, sapori genuini e dolci emozioni accompagnano le mie meravigliose giornate da Floracult che dimostrano felicemente in che misura l’uomo possa ripensarsi, cambiare e rendere migliore il mondo, guardando la natura, imparando le sue modeste e semplici  lezioni, prendendosi cura di essa come anche dei suoi ospiti.</p>
