  • Autopsia della politica italiana D'Apostrophe realized three artworks for the collection of 38 infographics concerning the Italian political costs. The volume, the first of the new book's series "Atlanti Civili", contains tables illustrating in a clear and direct way all the unwarranted advantages and the excessive spendings of the italian political class, the unnecessary local authotity costs and the State burdens towards Vatican, and convey understandably the meaning of data, numbers, statistics and percentages.

  • La Casa del III Millennio 2009 The exhibition "La Casa del III Millennio", held in Prato during December 2009, has been the result of a research path on the "house system" territorial potential, starting with the selection, through a public contest, of architects and designers that will work close quarters with Prato CNA's firms. The aim was that of drive the creatives in finding alternative solutions both for the envelope and the components of the house, those have to be durable and hand-crafted, created from the production wastes to design luxury products, planned around the human being to ease life and daily actions, or simply to get excited. The seven winners and the projects selected by the exhibition's scientific committee were developed with the companies during a workshop coordinated by Frits Van Donged with the perspective of a united mounting vision of the III Millennium House. The exhibition's fitting and visual system concept has been developed following the idea of sustainability and materials recycle. So was born the idea of an installation composed by a T-shirt on the facade of Palazzo Pacchiani, Historical Prato building housing the event, or that of create the intern of an oneiric cathedral whose space has been defined by arcades and cypress columns. The catalog, as well as the whole fitting visual system, have been realized through a visual system similar to the idea of the future artifact and the natural geometry, emphasized by the employment of a chromatic palette expressly composed, and by materials of contemporaneous workmanship but sustainable.
