There are artists who shape their worldview and works through personal experiences and cultural influences. This is the case, for example, with Willem de Kooning, one of the great exponents of abstract expressionism, whose works and life tell stories of transformation and beauty.
Do you know who Gio Ponti was and what he represented for Italian art and beyond?
We often hear about Made in Italy, but few know one of its greatest exponents was Gio Ponti, who from the 1920s was director of Richard Ginori, initiating a process of production renewal.

A corporate event represents an important opportunity for companies of different sizes and industries. In addition to its fun and prestige aspect, a well-organized event, perhaps harnessing the power of art and creativity, can bring numerous tangible benefits that result in a tangible return on investment.
The Reggia di Venaria Reale, one of the most fascinating and impressive Savoy residences, is located in the heart of Piedmont, a short distance from the city of Turin.

For those wishing to explore all of Piedmont’s royal residences, there is a tourist pass available that facilitates access to these historic sites (you can find it at the end of this post), ensuring a complete experience among historic and central palaces, sumptuous residences, and vacation spots.

Italy has always influenced the great artists of the past, but in some cases it has transformed their style, and the link with Italy proved to be fundamental to the creation of great masterpieces.
In 1959, Willem de Kooning, already established as a painter, arrived in Italy to make a trip that proved decisive for his career and the evolution of his artistic style. This period not only solidified his position in the global art scene but also enriched his style, leading him to explore new techniques and materials.
