The book was issued on the occasion of the opening of the Palazzo Italia the symbolic heart of the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2015, designed by Studio Nemesi & Partners and thanks to the innovative solutions developed by Italcementi Group.
The book is “A journey in a world of synesthesia, an excursus of stimuli and suggestions, a discontinuous path through assonance and secret connections. Mysterious yet illuminating figures, autonomous yet cohabiting links. A transverse investigation into the essence of Italian beauty, pure form that transcends centuries and cognitive reasoning to become a genuine text, implicit and eccentric. Above all, an invitation to experience the resonance of beauty. An invitation with no scientific pretensions, but with a perhaps even more ambitious intention. Utter enjoyment.”
