Grand Tour exhibition at the Humanities Library dell'Incoronata

La Biblioteca Umanistica dell’Incoronata (Corso Garibaldi, Milano) ha ospitato nel mese di luglio la mostra “Grand Tour, alla scoperta della ceramica classica italiana”, curata da Jean Blanchaert, Viola Emaldi e Anty Pansera e organizzata dall’AiCC (Associazione italiana Città della ceramica) alla quale aderiscono 37 comuni di antica tradizione ceramica. La rassegna propone ceramiche di foggia classica, tipiche delle tavole italiane, illustrate da decori che vanno dall’antichità all’epoca moderna, provenienti da città italiane, specializzate in ceramica.

In supporting the apt name “Grand Tour”: this is a fascinating journey through the Italian manufacturing tradition, revealing refined expertise and vivid fantasies, designed to beautify daily tables. As state senator and AiCC President Stefano Collina says “the art of decorating the table has been constantly developing, marking the progress of the human condition.”

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
