Back from an inspiring weekend in Turin, and from Operae, the Indipendent Design Festival. This year Operae Torino choose a special location: Palazzo Cavour, a stunning Baroque palace that it’s worth the visit even for itself!
Oggi, di ritorno da un weekend molto interessante a Torino, e per la prima volta da Operae, il Festival del Design Indipendente. Per quest’anno Operae 2015 aveva scelto una sede privilegiata: lo storico Palazzo Cavour, casa per molti anni dell’omonimo conte. Una scenografia barocca stupenda che da sola valeva la visita!
