Milano: New Fornasetti Store - Opening Party



“Imagination, fantasy and creativity are irrepressible food for the soul and for the spirit: it is a duty for those who have them to give them to others, and in this way fantasy invokes fantasy and poetry invites poetry for everyone, all the time”.
Piero Fornasetti

Milano: New Fornasetti Store - Opening Party. Right in the historical heart of Milan, hometown of Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti, the new Fornasetti mono brand store opens on Corso Venezia in the Neoclassical-style building that hosted the young Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, poet and writer, founder of the Futurism movement, where he started “Poesia” magazine in 1905.

A Fornasetti object is not a simple object: it tells “a little story, sometimes funny, wordless of course, but audible to those believe in poetry.
