Copertina: La forma spezzata.
«Nel Paese più bello del mondo ci sono moltissime località meravigliose, così tante che non si contano. Così tante che non è facile mettersi d’accordo sul loro numero esatto, né tanto meno sul conto delle meraviglie. Del resto, è nella natura delle cose nutrire incertezze e avere sempre un piccolo buco da riempire». La forma spezzata è un’opera d’arte visiva in forma di libro. È una fiaba, inventata, scritta e disegnata da un artista contemporaneo.

Copertina: Dino Martens. Glass and Drawings

Dino Martens

Glass and Drawings

It combines the traditional gaiety of Venetian glass with a feeling that is entirely of the twentieth century [...]. It has two of the characteristics that are mentioned in Vitruvius’s formula, it has ‘delight’ and it has ‘flavor’[...]. It could only have been made today; it takes liberties with traditional design that would have been impossible even a generation ago. It is undogmatic and it is amused.

Raphael Ware

The colours of the Renaissance

The golden age of the Majolica of the Duchy of Urbino

Urbino's fame in connection to majolica begins in the 16th century and is particularly linked to the storied production that in Urbino acquired extraordinary importance and space, perhaps also due to the fact that the definitive return of Francesco Maria della Rovere in 1521 was followed by the establishment of a refined court with important affinities.
