Before Mark and Mary left for Firenze Monday morning, we went to tour a bit around the Duomo. Always recognizable for the floor!
In the Piazza, they were setting up a mock-train engine for Freccia Rossa. I think it was just a promotional thing.
On Tuesday, Ross and I got out of the house to head to the Triennale. You never know if the exhibits there are going to be interesting or not, but we ended up seeing a lot of good stuff and spending just over four hours there. Seriously. The first exhibit we went to was on public architecture, and while there was some focus on current projects, there was also historic stuff. Photos, drawings, videos, models. This LED-lit model of a deep commuter rail station was one of many cool models.
We also saw the design exhibition, this year it's on graphic design, so fonts, periodical and book design, posters, packaging, brand design, even video exercises.
We saw an exhibit on prehistoric European rock carvings, and one on the lighting design of Gino Sarfatti. There was also a tribute to the Lady Dior handbag!
We even ended up skipping a few of the smaller exhibits because it was getting late. On our way home I caught a picture of the new Chanel perfume ads. These just appeared in the last week or two, and they are everywhere.
Brad Pitt, Inevitable.
