CHRISTMAS MOVIES: 5 MOVIES + 1 WHICH ARE VERY EVOCATIVE OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas movies. Christmas has just passed, we wished each other Merry Christmas, we ate (a lot!), and now we’re waiting for New Year’s Eve.
These are my favourite days of the year, and I usually sleep more, and all I want to do is stay at home relaxing and watching old and new movies.
I usually watch movies recently released which I haven’t seen yet; but there are some films (always the same!) that in my opinion give a strong sense of Christmas.
What are yours?

Merry Christmas to everybody!

VIVIAN MAIER: PIONEER OF STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Vivian Maier. Some people were born in the right place at the right time, like Robert Mapplethorpe; other people are in the right place but don’t have the chance to draw attention to themselves; still other people don’t care about the way to draw attention to themselves and their talent is consigned to oblivion.

That was Vivian Maier’s destiny, the American nanny who has fascinated me, but also the world, due to her mysterious story but also because she was, unbeknown to her, the pioneer of street photography.

The Torre Arcobaleno (Rainbow Tower) is a recognizable mark on the city and emotional landscape of Milan, capital of fashion and design.
Founded in 1990 by a group of companies that transformed an anonymous water tower at Porta Garibaldi into a colourful tribute to the creativity of Milan, the Tower has been re-stored and returned to its original splendour.

Wine Mythology Label

Saturday November 19th, 2016 , More than art

Producing wine is a complex experience. It means carrying on an ancient tradition, which goes far beyond entrepreneurial spirit, and embracing centuries-old practices as well as innovation, charm and discovery.

So, when the “Cantina Valpolicella Negrar” winery – a leading and historic Italian wine-producing company – decided to associate its products with a well-known figure, it is not by chance that Ulysses was chosen.
Drawing inspiration from Ulysses, the “Cantina Valpolicella Negrar” winery is launching the “Wine Mythology Label” project.
Planning to dedicate a limited edition of its finest wine – Amarone – to Homer’s hero, it is asking creative designers to develop a label that has what it takes to become an icon, a collection item, the object of desire for thousands of wine lovers from all over the world.
