  Lovers and Saint...

  
  “Paris... interior night: two young lovers in a small attic, the moonlight filters through the window and the sensual notes of an accordion come from the noisy street. A desire: to dance lightly in the starry sky with the only fear that the new day could erase everything.” August 2001

  Trinckets

  I called them Trinkets, but the more appropriate name would be Nightmares. 

  The possibility of always adding new characters to this infinite series stimulates me and at the same time obsesses me.

  
  The small size and their bright and fun colors make interesting and easily realizable anything I see and love”.

  Matisse

  “The Red Room by Matisse is a painting that I have always carried in my heart.

  The bright and pure colors describe, on the contrary, a calm and serene environment.

  The opportunity was tempting and for this series of domestic scenes, it seemed like the right starting point to draw from.”

  Pierino and Pierina

  From the particular felling of grace of the new parent (between ecstasy and inadequacy) a simple and essential and therefore universal design was born.

  Pierino and Pierina have invented names and physiognomies, but their passions and behaviors are those of our two little children.

  Carousels At The...

  “At that time we lived in Padua which, like all big cities, becomes beautiful on holiday mornings.

  My father used to take me to play in the center, in a very nice little park. I liked it especially because there were so many little carousels.

  - Look, Dad, the swing with the chains! Will you push me? - There are springs, the pulley, the swing..., come on, let's play! - Dad, look! Am I good?

  From Sunday to Sunday my courage grew and there were no more carousels to scare me like in the beginning. How beautiful those mornings were, me and my Dad!”

  The Fair of the Carousels

  In a small country town, the time for the long-awaited “fair” has finally arrived.

  The people who live in the village and nearby towns meet in the square to spend pleasant evenings together while the children have fun on the much-loved rides.

  The atmosphere is truly magical! Lights and festoons everywhere and airships and hot air balloons in the sky.

  In short, there is no shortage of ways to really have fun! So, have fun..

  Hot Air Balloons

  This rather ancient aircraft, dating back to 220 AD, was invented in China, to allow some military communications.

  But it was only in 1793 that the first hot air balloon took flight with a crew of people: it happened in France, thanks to two brave brothers, called Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier!

  The main feeling that inspired us in this Le Mongolfiere Collection was freedom, the desire to travel and discover new things.

  Unlike the airplane, already present in some of our subjects, the hot air balloon is very influenced by the winds: traveling aboard a hot air balloon therefore means surrendering to the will of the wind, because there are no piloting tools capable of counteracting it.

  With our Hot Air Balloons we also want to represent innocence and lightheartedness, thinking back to when as children, we had so much fun depicting hot air balloons, each different from the other, flying freely in the sky. As the main melody of the collection, we could only choose "Around the wold in 80 days".

  In fact, a good part of the covers of Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne, feature hot air balloons.

  What could be more fitting? We hope, therefore, that our hot air balloons convey to you the same sensation of lightness and well-being that we feel while we decorate and assemble them.

  And that, watching them turn, you too let yourself go on this beautiful journey, carried by the wind of their melody.

  Funfair Carousels

  “At the carousel, a few lire were enough to spend an entire afternoon in the company of friends; on the bumper cars or at the Catenelle, between fun and excitement, we attempted our first conquests; intoxicated by an extraordinary courage, we felt like brave knights conquering young ladies.

  It was the 70s, I was perhaps 13 or 14 years old... but it seems almost like yesterday.”

  Pinocchio

  “I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden puppet; but a marvelous puppet, that can dance, fence and do somersaults.

  With this puppet I want to travel the world, to earn a crust of bread and a glass of wine; what do you think?”

  Carlo Collodi

  Bella Epoque

  The “Belle Époque” was the era of dreams, illusions and progress; humanity seemed to be driven towards the best of futures, with the end of conflicts, the increase in well-being, pharmacological discoveries and new inventions that made life, both at work and in private, simpler and more comfortable.

  However, this is only one side of that period... October 2015

  Old Circus

  It is a retro Circus, with a nostalgic flavor, almost from another time. A circus where clowns, jugglers and acrobats, animated by the splendid melodies carefully chosen, will transport you to a world of magic and poetry!

  Cats and Misdeeds

  There is a room, one of those beautiful old ones, with a table, an armchair and many books on the walls.

  It is almost evening and everything seems very quiet: four very sweet cats are boringly playing with some balls of wool.

  Suddenly, however, a little bird flies away from the cage and finally the fun begins...

  The Musicians

  “When a few years ago I had the fortune of seeing and listening to Chung Myung-Whun conducting the orchestra of La Scala in Milan, I understood that classical music can give you very strong emotions, especially in the theater.

  My box was very close to the orchestra and it was almost possible to feel part of it: the screeching of the fingers on the strings of the violins, the noise of the pages of the score as they turn, the breathing of the wind instruments, the sighs of the timpani, then the looks between the performer and the maestro and on the faces of us spectators the ecstasy mixed with rapture.

  I also love the silences of a concert, the initial one and especially the final one, when you come back to earth and the applause gives you the certainty of being part of it”.

  Pulcinella

  “Do you understand how lucky Naples was to have had King Ferdinand I of Bourbon?

  And if we, for example, had had a dull, idiotic, illiterate king who could neither read nor write... eh?

  And if we, for example, had had a king who did not know how to behave... a buffoonish king, a lazy, ill-mannered king, what kind of people would we have become?

  And if, for example, we had had a rogue king, a thief, a scoundrel, a swindler... we who are a people who are appointed to be honest, hard-working, respectful... we would certainly have become a people of swindlers, scoundrels, thieves and fraudsters... like him?!”

  Pulcinella, played by the great Eduardo De Filippo, in a passage from the film: “Ferdinando I° Re di Napoli“

  by Gianni Frangiolini, 1959

  Comedy of Art

  “What can I say? Everything has been written about the subject: about its popular origins, with synthetic plots and necessary improvisations, about the final appearance of real female actresses and no longer male transvestites, etc... etc.

  Personally, I like to think that the simplicity of the scripts, the repetition of roles, the irony of destinies, the pressing rhythm of misunderstandings are, then as now, the representation of common life: a carousel where the actors go around and act in masks, to then present themselves at the end of the show to the judgment of the public.

  Isn’t it the same for us?”
