Pierluigi and I decided to drive around Castelli Romani, a group of hills southeast of Rome . It's known for its white wines (malvasia and trebbiano grapes). But it's also know for the presence of CERN thus many scientific related events.

We had lunch at Hotel Cacciani and were told by the waiter that a movie with Robert DeNiro was being filmed at Villa Aldobrandi and that the Hotel was catering some of the food. Who knows what they ate. But we had pasta, of course, and Pierluigi and some great ravioli stuffed with an eggplant puree'.

The first record of the Villa Aldobrandini date back to the 16th century when the villa was purchased by the Aldobrandini family. Prior to this it had been owned by a succession of minor Roman and provincial noblemen. At the end of the 18th century it passed into the hands of the Borghese family, who had in the meantime also inherited all the Aldobrandini possessions. ---

A figure in the attitude of prayer is called an Orant in icon painting. In this ancient Eastern position, the figure either stands with arms outstretched sideways or bent at the elbow with palms facing forward. In early Christianity martyrs and deaconesses were represented in this attitude, which they assumed for certain prayers. The name of Oranta was then conferred on representations of the Virgin in this prayer position.

Deities lift both arms in the "epiphany gesture" or reach forward to give or receive. The pantheon of Mycenaean deities --

Worshipper and worshipped are identified in seals, rings and votives figures through their gestures: worshippers fold their arms, or raise the right arm in greeting, or place a hand on the forehead. Deities lift both arms in the "epiphany gesture" or reach forward to give or receive. Some of the deities are familiar—or at least their names are recognizably present in the Olympic pantheon of written myth.Our relation to nature is reflected in our depiction of animals, which are shown only in relation to man, or as victims of the hunt. Also, we do not have a priestly class.

Re-uSe è un momento di incontro e di scambio tra due inconsuete stiliste che creano attraverso l'arte del ri-uso e le numerose eco-fashionist della nostra città... Troppo spesso le donne sono incastrate nei loro ruoli di mamma, moglie, figlia, amante, efficiente segretaria o manager in carriera, tanto da trovare difficile anche ritagliarsi un momento intimo e rilassante per scegliersi un abito, per provare se quella collana dona davvero al proprio decolleté, per parlare di moda ma in chiave eco-sostenibile...
Lontano da luoghi convenzionali, ecco che Re-uSe sceglie un solo giorno a settimana, il mercoledì, e un orario diverso - dalle 18.00 alle 23.00 - per offrire alle donne una serata giocosa, divertente e spensierata, durante la quale scegliere o non scegliere con calma, ascoltare bella musica di sottofondo, degustare un aperitivo biologico e a km zero e conoscere nuove amiche... ---



Livia Risi: Twisted by Design.
Movement is at the center of my creations.
I love everything that changes and mutates. Everytime that from a drawing I get to the finished dress, I like to put it on, turn it around, twist it until I understand the many possibilities behind it.
