Marsiglia city of culture
Wednesday, 01 February 2012
It was the 1980s and “Curiosity killed the cat” played “Misfit”, their first album. After decades, I realize that perhaps I owe something to the English band. In their appeal to that same curiosity that today, far from any expectation and desire, led me on a trip to Marseille. Just recently the city was appointed

The war against Christmas

(Italiano) Alma Charta, un atelier d’arte nella natura
Wednesday, 14 December 2011
«Stampa d’arte»: un termine un po’ elitario, pieno di mistero, che nei secoli ha sedotto artisti come Dürer, Rembrandt, Parmigianino, Goya, Piranesi, Picasso e tanti altri. Eredite della tradizione e dello spirito di un lavoro svolto interamente a mano, l’incisore André Beuchat da più di vent’anni è attivo nel mondo della carta e dell’inchiostro. Per
