APEROL: HISTORY OF AN ITALIAN ICON

The history of Aperol began during the Art Noveau period.
In 1919 the Barbieri brothers launched at the Padua International Fair what would become one of the most popular liqueurs among Italians.

The original and secret recipe which has never been changed up to the present day has made Aperol very popular, especially in the immediate post-war period, with its unique orange colour and its art noveau bottle.

EAMES PLASTIC CHAIR: THE FIRST PLASTIC CHAIR IN HISTORY

There’s a chair on which we’ve sat at least once. If there’s one thing that can never be missing in a doctor’s waiting room or in an office, that’s a Plastic Chair, a 1950s-style chair, with or without arms, and which can be joined laterally with another chair.

The Eames Plastic Chair is the first real plastic chair which was awarded the second prize at the “Low cost” competition organized by the MoMA in 1948, and which since 1950 has been mass-produced (at the end of the post you’ll find the link to Vitra, the current producer).

Thus, I’ve decided to shed some light on this matter, and I wrote this post to tell you what the 7 wonders of the ancient world are and especially where they are, because you can still admire some of them 🙂
