Photography and Memory
Personal project
2009/10
A Ketubah is a prenuptial agreement signed by the spouses during the Jewish wedding and is part of the ceremony itself. Traditionally this document is richly decorated and hand written in Hebrew. I have a great interest in typography and the special form of Hebrew characters as the gesture linked to the writing is fascinating. In Jewish tradition characters have a magic and mystic power.
This picture won the 3rd prize of the contest organised by the Foundation Jewish Contemporary Documentation Centre for the European Day of Jewish Culture 2009. The project aimed to collect pictures portraying traditions and costumes of contemporary Italian Jewry. The competition became an exhibition, named "Photography and Memory" hosted by Ikona Gallery in the Ghetto of Venice. The picture is published in the exhibition's catalogue.
The other pictures represent the tools and process of Kippah making (Yarmulka) a tradition that goes on thanks to mothers and daughters learning to take care of the men of the family. I personally learned form my mother although my skills are pretty poor compared to hers.

Client: Lavazza
Project: Viral video and contest
If you ever visited Italy in your life you might have noticed that Italians speak with their hands. This peculiarity is so famous and weird that one of the most famous Italian designers, Bruno Munari, wrote a Dictionary of Italian hand Gesture.
Lavazza, Italy's favourite espresso coffee, launched the new coffee machine "A Modo Mio" (literally: my way) that brings the magic of the authentic Italian espresso to your home. For the occasion I studied a concept for a campaign that linked the real espresso experience to the real Italian experience where gesture is the primary language linked to this loved habit.
The result was a viral video and a webpage where coffee lovers could send their own messages in their own language inviting friends for a coffee.
Noir

Project: Brand communication and shooting
Banca Generali is a strong group offering and managing financial products for the retail market in Italy. I participated in the redesign process of the websites of the group and in particular in the definition of the new Brand communication strategy and it's development on digital channels.
The solution found is a flexible structure represented by the concept of "Album" that could feature in each website the correct tone of voice according to corporate or commercial content.
For Banca Generali the Family Album talks closely to the client and makes him part of the family and for private banking clients a Tradition Album blends tradition and values with highly accurate and personalized solutions
Zegna

Client: Ermenegildo Zegna
Project: Physical computing, user interface
Imagine yourself walking into an exclusive fashion boutique looking for a custom made italian suit. You probably expect to find the finest fabrics, the most perfectly shaped siuts of the world and extremely skilled tailors.
What you probably don't expect to find is a high tech environment that will allow the skilled tailor to mark all your measurement, select easily the fabrics of your dreams and prepare your order so that your suit will be ready within three working weeks.
This project is the result of deep analysis, research and tests made in Zegna's boutiques to create a comfortable and easy-to-use physical device with an intuitive user interface and touch screen surface. And all that long before the iPad ever appeared on the news!

ESA's website is undergoing a redesign according to the newly launched Corporate Identity.
A high level experience study made redesign possible, integrating the new elements of identity smoothly and erthinking the whole user experience.
According to the new Brand values the tone of voice has changed becoming more informative, editorial and friendly and leading to an open conversation with users engaging people and motivating interaction and participation
The global aim was to first engage in a conversation; adapt language to the audience and than let the conversation flow with no worries
This was possible thank to a high flexibility of content that becomes "fluid", a scalar structure highly adaptable, and redundant identity elements.
