The volume, with a preface by Germano Celant and numerous critical contributions, traces the work of the Milanese architect Mario Bellini, in a transversal journey spanning almost sixty years between design, architecture, installations, and much more.
In fact, these pages also tell about the photographer (as Gabriele Basilico and Mario Calabresi point out), the art collector (Vittorio Sgarbi writes about it), the editor of a prestigious magazine like Domus (from 1986 to 1991 as Italo Lupi recalls), the companion of explorations around the world (with urbanist Marco Romano). In a word, the ever-curious traveler behind the architect celebrated everywhere and the designer winner of eight Compasso d’oro awards.
An artist skilled in moving in all scales of design-from the chair to the skyscraper as was his professor at the Milan Polytechnic Gio Ponti-who now brings back to the center of the debate the subversive and saving role of “beauty” and the all-Italian ability to be its interpreter in the world.
