KINTSUGI and our New Reality!

Dall’inizio dell’anno mi sono affezionata ad una nuova parola: “KINTSUGI”.

Ma cosa vorrà mai dire? E’ una parola giapponese che rappresenta una secolare e complessa tecnica di restauro.

Molti di voi penseranno che sono impazzita e si chiederanno che cosa ha a che fare questa parola con la mia vita e soprattutto perchè voglio addirittura dedicare un articolo del mio blog!

Non a caso ho chiesto a Valeria Palmulli di Terramarea di aiutarmi a scrivere questo post, perchè io di ceramica non sono un esperta, ma come vi accennavo nel titolo ho notato un meraviglioso parallelo tra la nostra nuova realtà e il KINTSUGI che può’ aiutarci a vedere con occhi diversi questi momenti.

Senza entrare troppo nei dettagli della filosofia Zen vorrei raccontarvi di una particolare visione estetica del mondo giapponese che si chiama “Wabi-sabi”, da non confondere con il wasabi!

Wabi-sabi: l’unicità delle cose cosi come sono e l’accettazione dei difetti senza nasconderli.

Nel Wabi-sabi convergono tre concetti principali:

• Mushin, “senza mente” è un concetto che esprime la capacità di lasciare correre, dimenticando le preoccupazioni, liberando la mente dalla ricerca della perfezione.

• Anicca si traduce con “impermanenza”; l’esistenza, senza eccezioni, è transitoria, evanescente e inconstante: tutte le cose sono destinate alla fine. Accettare tale condizione è avere un approccio sereno e consapevole della vita.

• Mono no aware, “empatia verso gli oggetti”, è una malinconia triste e profonda per le cose; apprezzando la loro decadenza si arriva ad ammirarne la bellezza.

Ora, ritorniamo al KINTSUGI, letteralmente vuol dire riparare con l’oro ed è una pratica giapponese che consiste nell’utilizzo di oro o argento liquido o lacca con polvere d’oro per la riparazione di oggetti in ceramica (in genere vasellame), usando il prezioso metallo per saldare assieme i frammenti.

Creiamo ora il parallelo con le nostre vite attuali, le nostre vite sono letteralmente state inter-rotte dal virus e ognuno di noi in qualche modo non è piu la stessa persona che era prima della quarantena. Io mi sento esattamente come una porcellana rotta, ma come possiamo prendere il meglio da questa esperienza e andare avanti?

L’arte del kintsugi ci spiega proprio come decifrare questo accaduto e come viverlo in maniera costruttiva: come il piatto che viene riparato con il metallo prezioso possiamo “incollare” i frammenti delle nostre vite con “l’amore” e scoprire che questo è un momento unico e irripetibile. Una volta “riparati” con quello che chiameremo genericamente AMORE, (quando parlo di amore parlo di amore per noi stessi, amore per quello che facciamo e amore per chi ci circonda) avremo una nuova storia da raccontare e queste “ferite” se saremo in grado di valorizzarle saranno i punti di partenza delle nostre nuove vite.

UTOPIA? Direi proprio di no se avete capito di che cosa sto parlando.

Ma torniamo alla ceramica cosi da sviluppare meglio il nostro parallelo.

L’uso dell’oro da parte dell’artista è una profonda dimostrazione di stima e riconoscenza: parla di fragilità, di sgretolamento, di caducità, declino e di rinascita.

Valeria ha utilizzato questa tecnica su un piattino bellissimo che ha realizzato. Era bellissimo prima della rottura, ma scopriamo insieme cosa è successo dopo, seguendo il suo processo step by step.

• prelevare una piccola quantità di polvere d’oro e resina e mescolare con una spatola;

• disporre l’impasto sulla parte di rottura che si vuole incollare;

• far aderire le due parti, lasciando fuoriuscire la colla dorata (il punto di rottura deve essere ben visibile!);

• pulire con uno stuzzicadenti gli eccessi, rifinendo i punti più delicati;

• mantenere l’oggetto in posizione per alcuni minuti affinchè la colla si sia indurita;

• ripetere il procedimento, disponendo il collante sui nuovi lati da saldare;

• Far aderire le due parti e attendere qualche minuto;

• L’oro valorizza i punti di rottura, aggiungendo luce e valore al pezzo;

(all pictures by Terramarea)

• la riparazione è terminata!

 

Ora, avete visto il parallelo con il nostro piattino, che alla fine della nostra storia ha un valore estetico e anche simbolico davvero interessante, siete sicuri che non si possa creare una correlazione positiva con la nostra vita dopo la quarantena?

Vi lascio con questa riflessione personale, io ora mi sento meno “rotta” e devo dire che sto vedendo i lati positivi di tutto quello che mi è successo negli ultimi mesi.

Questa riflessione non vuole minimamente sminuire la perdita di persone care o le piccole o grandi tragedie che ci sono accadute, ma è una chiave di lettura diversa, creativa, di una situazione che ci sta inevitabilmente cambiando.

***

This year I have head so many times the word: “KINTSUGI”.
What does it mean? It is a Japanese word that represents a centuries-old and complex restoration technique.Many of you will wonder why I want to speak about restoration, what has this to do with weddings or my life and above all, why do I want to dedicate an entire article of my blog about it?It is no coincidence that I asked Valeria Palmulli of Terramarea to help me write this post: I am not an expert in ceramics and she is, and I have noticed a wonderful parallel between our new reality and KINTSUGI that can help us to see these moments with different eyes.Without going into too much detail about the Zen philosophy, I would like to tell you about a particular aesthetic vision of the Japanese world called “Wabi-sabi”, not to be confused with “wasabi”!Wabi-sabi: represents the uniqueness of things as they are and the acceptance of defects without hiding them. Three main concepts converge in Wabi-sabi:

• Mushin, “without mind” is a concept that expresses the ability to let go, forgetting worries, freeing the mind from the pursuit of perfection.

 

• Anicca translates as “impermanence”; existence, without exception, is transitory, evanescent and inconstant: all things are destined to end. Accepting this condition is having a serene and conscious approach to life.

 

• Mono no aware, “empathy towards objects”, is a sad and profound melancholy for things; by appreciating their decadence you can admire their beauty.

 

Now, let’s go back to KINTSUGI, literally it means repairing with gold and it is a Japanese practice that consists in the use of gold or liquid silver or lacquer with gold powder to repair ceramic objects (usually tableware), using the precious metal to weld the fragments together.

Let’s now create the parallel with our current lives, our lives have literally been “broken” by the Corona virus and each of us is somehow no longer the same person he was before the quarantine. I feel exactly like a “broken porcelain”, and how can we get the best out of this experience and move on?

The art of kintsugi explains exactly how to decipher this event and how to live it constructively: like the plate that is repaired with precious metal we can “glue” the fragments of our lives with “love” and find out that this is a unique and unrepeatable moment.

Once “repaired” with what we will generically call LOVE, (when I speak of love I speak of love for ourselves, love for what we do and love for those around us), we will have a new story to tell and these “wounds” if we are in able to enhance them will be the starting points of our new lives.

UTOPIA? No, if you understand what I’m talking about.

But let’s go back to ceramic so that I can explain you better this metaphore.

The use of gold by the artist is a profound demonstration of esteem and gratitude: it speaks of fragility, crumbling, transience, decline and rebirth.

Valeria used this technique on a beautiful saucer that she made. It was beautiful before beeing broken, but let’s find out what has happened next, following her step by step procedure.

• take a small amount of gold dust and resin and mix with a spatula;
• place the dough on the breakage part you want to glue;
• make the two parts adhere, letting out the golden glue (the breaking point must be clearly visible!);
• clean the excesses with a toothpick, finishing the most delicate points
• keep the object in position for a few minutes until the glue has hardened.
• repeat the procedure, placing the glue on the new sides to be welded.
• Join the two sides and wait a few minutes
• Gold enhances the breaking points, adding light and value to the piece
• the repair is finished!

Now, that you have seen the example that we made with our saucer, which has a really interesting aesthetic and symbolic value, are you sure that we cannot create a positive correlation with our life after the quarantine?

I leave you with this personal reflection, I now feel less “broken” and I must say that I am seeing the positive sides of everything that has happened to me in recent months.

This reflection does not want to diminish the strong impact that the virus had in our lives, nor I want to understimate the grief that some of you have experienced for the loss of beloved ones hitted by the virus.

It is a different and creative interpretation of a situation that is inevitably changing us.

Mixed Weddings in Italy

What is a mixed wedding and how does it take place?

In Italy the percentage of mixed weddings has grown considerably, the average of marriages between 2018 and 2020 was around 195,000 and weddings in which at least one spouse was a foreigner accounted for 17 % of unions.

“Love is the antidote to all kinds of racism , the lens that allows us to see others with pure eyes and the right gaze, to go beyond the differences and discover that it is precisely the our being different is the wealth that will allow us to love each other forever.”

A phenomenon that has been growing for at least ten years, mixed weddings is a ritual that involves the union of two individuals who profess different religions; speaking of Italy usually means between a individual of Catholic faith and another of distinct religion. Many psychologists have explained this phenomenon, in fact psychology teaches that generally a couple is created for two reasons, for the curiosity of the difference or for the affinity of values.

A different culture, a different religion, a different way of life can attract us even more. It is a very difficult game, which then requires an important compromise in the long term. This is where integralism should play its part in favor and not against. There are many differences and rules to follow depending on the religions you meet, let’s see together what the Catholic Church provides for example.

Only since 1970 has the Church authorized mixed marriages, but let’s see together the rules imposed for uniting a mixed couple in marriage. The person of the couple is of Catholic faith (husband or wife) must:

• having completed Christian initiation or baptism, communion and confirmation (if you have not received confirmation you must prepare to receive it)
• declare yourself ready to to remove the dangers of abandoning the faith and to sincerely promise to do everything in his power to ensure that all children are baptized and educated in the Catholic Church. These promises must be promptly communicated to the other party so that the latter is genuinely aware of the promise and obligation of the Catholic party.
• together with the non-Catholic party, be educated on the essential purposes and properties of marriage. or uniqueness of the couple in mutual love, stability, indissolubility of the marriage bond, openness to welcoming children
• educating children to the Catholic faith

The atheist or non-Catholic party (husband or wife) doesn’t need to convert to Christianity but must:

1. share the essential points of marriage, namely: undertake before the parish priest not to place obstacles to the religious practice of the Catholic side and the Catholic education of children

2. declare before the parish priest to share in conscience the natural values ​​of marriage, namely that the marriage that is celebrated is unique, exclusive, perpetual, indissoluble, fruitful in the sense of openness to life

If these conditions are met the Bishop of the diocese in which the marriage is celebrated grants the Catholic party the dispensation to submit to the Code and therefore to celebrate the marriage with a Catholic rite.

This license must be requested from the parish priest of the church where the marriage is celebrated.

MATRIMONI MISTI IN ITALIA

Che cos’è un matrimonio misto e come si svolge?

Amare è l’antidoto ad ogni tipo di razzismo, la lente che ci permette di vedere gli altri con gli occhi puri e lo sguardo giusto, di andare oltre le differenze e scoprire che è proprio il nostro essere diversi la ricchezza che ci permetterà di amarci per sempre.

I matrimoni misti sono fenomeno in crescita da almeno una decina d’anni, il matrimonio misto è un rito che prevede l’unione di due individui che professano religione diversa; parlando dell’Italia di solito significa tra un individuo di fede cattolica e un altro di religione distinta. Molti psicologi hanno spiegato questo fenomeno, la psicologia infatti insegna che in genere si crea una coppia per due ragioni, per la curiosità della differenza o per l’affinità con l’uguaglianza. Ecco qui che una cultura diversa, una religione diversa, una modalità di vita diversa ci possono attrarre ancora di più. È un gioco molto difficile, che presuppone poi nel lungo termine un compromesso importante. È qui che l’integralismo dovrebbe giocare la sua parte a favore e non contro. Ci sono molte differenze e regole da seguire a seconda delle religioni che si incontrano.

Basti pensare che in Italia la percentuale di matrimoni misti è cresciuta notevolmente, la media dei matrimoni tra il 2018 e il 2020 si è aggirata intorno ai 195.000 e i matrimoni in cui almeno uno sposo era straniero ha rappresentato il 17% delle unioni.

Solo dal 1970 la Chiesa autorizza i matrimoni misti, ma vediamo insieme le regole imposte per unire in matrimonio una coppia mista.

Vediamo insieme cosa prevede ad esempio la Chiesa cattolica.

La persona che della coppia è di fede cattolica (sposo o sposa) deve:

1. aver compiuto l’iniziazione cristiana ovvero battesimo, comunione e cresima (se non ha ricevuto la cresima deve prepararsi a riceverla)
2. dichiararsi pronta ad allontanare i pericoli di abbandonare la fede e promettere sinceramente di fare quanto è in suo potere perché tutti i figli siano battezzati ed educati nella Chiesa cattolica. Queste promesse devono essere tempestivamente comunicate all’altra parte in modo che questa sia realmente consapevole della promessa e dell’obbligo della parte cattolica.
3. insieme alla parte non cattolica, essere istruita sui fini e le proprietà essenziali del matrimonio ovvero unicità della coppia nell’amore reciproco, stabilità, indissolubiltà del legame matrimoniale, apertura all’accoglienza di figli
4. educare i figli alla fede cattolica

La parte atea o di religione non cattolica (sposo o sposa) non deve convertirsi al cristianesimo ma deve condividere i punti essenziali del matrimonio, ovvero:

1. impegnarsi davanti al parroco a non mettere ostacoli alla pratica religiosa della parte cattolica e all’educazione cattolica dei figli
2. dichiarare davanti al parroco di condividere in coscienza i valori naturali del matrimonio e cioè che il matrimonio che si celebra è unico, esclusivo, perpetuo, indissolubile, fecondo nel senso di aperto alla vita

Se sono soddisfatte queste condizioni il Vescovo della diocesi in cui il matrimonio viene celebrato concede alla parte cattolica la dispensa di sottostare al Codice e dunque di celebrare il matrimonio con rito cattolico. Tale licenza va richiesta al parroco della Chiesa in cui il matrimonio viene celebrato.

Garda Special Wedding

La stagione estiva è stata ricca di trasferte ed impegni, e non sono riuscita a tenervi aggiornata su tutte le attività e le scoperte che abbiamo fatto quest’anno! Ma non vi preoccupate cercheremo di riprendere le fila del discorso e aggiornarvi su tutto!

Oggi iniziamo dalla nostra trasferta in Villa Bettoni (Gargnano – BS) nella zona del Lago di Garda per scoprire una nuova realtà tutta dedicata al mondo dei matrimoni: Garda Special Wedding.

Cos’è #gardaspecialwedding?

Garda Special Wedding è il primo hub on line di servizi ed eccellenze del Garda dedicati al matrimonio firmato dall’imprenditrice Erica Cappellini.

Nata nel 2017, l’idea era quella di colmare la mancanza di una comunicazione globale del territorio e quindi far conoscere il lago di Garda a tutto il mondo, una meta già molto ambita dai paesi esteri, basta infatti sapere che ultimi anni l’indotto economico che genera il turismo matrimoniale sul lago di Garda è cresciuto fino a raggiungere picchi di circa 19 milioni di euro all’anno di fatturato. (dati sul wedding tourism raccolti da JFC srl)

Attraverso questa Hub si crea un facile strumento per permettere ai futuri sposi di accedere a una selezione di location esclusive e fornitori di alto profilo del territorio anche grazie al richiamo del made in Italy, da sempre sinonimo di gusto, bellezza e di uno stile di vita unico che il mondo intero apprezza e invidia.

La nostra giornata si è svolta come un vero e proprio “Invito a Nozze”, ma quali sono stati gli ingredienti speciali di questa ricetta di nozze?

• Una location da sogno (Villa Bettoni), maestoso palazzo del XVIII secolo affacciato sul lago e circondato da un caratteristico giardino all’italiana.
• Una fantastica esposizione di abiti da sposa del Laboratorio Galvan Sposa di Lucia e Stefania situato a Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantova) che hanno incorniciato la monumentale scalinata della villa.
• Un menu da farmi dimenticare la dieta ferrea che stavo seguendo, servito dalla  cucina dello storico ristorante di Brescia La Sosta, guidata dallo chef Ezio Colombo e dal patron Aldo Mazzolari.  Menù rigorosamente a base di pesce e specialità di Lago.

Abbiamo fatto due chiacchiere con Erica, la fondatrice: “Il portale è stato pensato per le esigenze dei futuri sposi, soprattutto stranieri, che vogliono venire a sposarsi sul lago di Garda in modo che abbiano a disposizione un unico strumento che raccoglie le eccellenze del territorio gardesano. Mi piace rendere le persone felici e il pensiero di aver contribuito a realizzare il loro più grande sogno rende felice anche me!”

Per la sua vocazione internazionale, i contenuti di Garda Special Wedding sono disponibili in 4 lingue: inglese, tedesco, russo e italiano, con una parte attiva di Blog dove si trovano le ultime notizie sul mondo del wedding e del lago di Garda in generale.

Come puoi diventare partner di Garda Special Wedding?

I partner dell’hub sono scelti con cura e devono rispondere a dei criteri ben precisi che si basano sull’alto livello della qualità del servizio, sulla professionalità e sulla correttezza in modo da garantire ai futuri sposi un elevato standard qualitativo e totale fiducia nell’esito positivo del lavoro. Tra le location partner del portale troviamo la l’Isola del Garda, il Vittoriale degli Italiani, la casa-museo più visitata d’Italia, ex dimora del vate D’Annunzio che da poco ha aperto le porte alle unioni civili e tanti altre.

Uno speciale ringraziamento va a tutto il team di Garda Special wedding per questa full immersion gardense, per la buonissima wedding bag che ci hanno omaggiato, un riassunto del percorso eno-gastronomico che Garda Special wedding porta all’interno del portale attraverso prodotti tipici della zona del Lago di Garda come la famosissima Cedrata Tassoni, il vino Lugana, l’olio evo, le confetture di limoni e gelatine di arancia!

E..avendole testate personalmente posso tranquillamente dirvi che la selezione delle eccellenze è stata fantastica! Un saluto e a presto!

The summer season has been full of trips and commitments, and I could not keep you updated on all the activities and discoveries we have made this year! But no worries we will try to update you on everything now!

Today we start of talking about our trip to Villa Bettoni (Gargnano – BS) in Lake Garda area, to discover a new reality entirely dedicated to the world of weddings: Garda Special Wedding.

What is Garda Special Wedding?

Garda Special Wedding is the first online hub of services and excellence of Garda dedicated to the wedding signed by the entrepreneur Erica Cappellini.

Born in 2017, the idea was to fill the lack of a global communication of the territory and therefore to make Lake Garda known all over the world, a destination that is already much sought after by foreign countries, it is enough to know that in recent years the economic that generates matrimonial tourism on Lake Garda has grown to reach peaks of about 19 million euros per year of turnover. (data on wedding tourism collected by JFC srl)

Through this Hub an easy tool is created to allow future spouses to access a selection of exclusive locations and high profile suppliers of the territory thanks to the appeal of the made in Italy, always synonymous of taste, beauty and a style of life unique that the whole world appreciates and envies.

Our day was like a real “Wedding Invitation”, but what were the special ingredients of this wedding recipe?

-A dream location (Villa Bettoni), a majestic 18th century palace overlooking the lake and surrounded by a characteristic Italian garden.

-A fantastic exposition of wedding dresses by  Galvan Sposa laboratory by Lucia and Stefania, located in Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantua) that framed the monumental staircase of the villa.

-A menu to make me forget the strict diet I was following, served by the cuisine of the historic restaurant of Brescia La Sosta, led by chef Ezio Colombo and the owner Aldo Mazzolari. Menu strictly based on fish and Lake specialties.

We had a chat with Erica, the founder: “The portal was designed for the needs of future spouses, especially foreigners, who want to come and get married on Lake Garda so that they have a single tool that collects the excellence of the territory Garda. I like to make people happy and the thought of helping to realize their biggest dream makes me happy too! “

Due to its international vocation, the contents of Garda Special Wedding are available in 4 languages: English, German, Russian and Italian, with an active part of Blog where you can find the latest news on the world of wedding and Lake Garda in general.

How can you become a partner of Garda Special Wedding?

The hub partners are carefully chosen and must meet precise criteria based on the high level of service quality, professionalism and correctness in order to guarantee the future spouses a high standard of quality and total trust in the positive outcome of the work. Among the partner locations of the portal we find the Isola del Garda, the Vittoriale degli Italiani, the most visited house-museum in Italy, the former home of the Poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, that has  recently opened its doors to civil unions and many others.

A special thank you goes to the Garda Special wedding team for this full immersion among Garda’s beauties, for the delicious wedding bag that we have received, a summary of the eno-gastronomic path that Garda Special wedding brings within the portal through typical products of the area Lake Garda as the famous Cedrata Tassoni, the Lugana wine, the evo oil, the jams of lemons and orange jellies!

And … having tested them personally I can  tell you that the selection of excellence has been fantastic! Greetings and see you soon!

2019 Chiara Vitale – Atelier Kore Show

Oggi vi parlo di una sfilata alla quale ho partecipato: Chiara Vitale – Atelier Kore, un brand che conoscevo molto poco ma del quale ho molto sentito parlare negli ultimi anni.

L’invito con questo meraviglioso fiore di loto al centro, mi aveva piacevolmente colpito, uno dei fiori che adoro perché nasce puro e leggiadro dal fango, un icona di coraggio e bellezza.

La collezione Cerimonia e Sposa prende ispirazione dalla magica atmosfera dello stagno, un ambiente apparentemente immobile, ma in realtà ricco di vita, e dalla fiaba della rana dorata.

Una collezione animata dal plumetis, dalle bolle e dai pois micro e macro, dai quadrifogli e dalle rane disposte come preziose spille. Le linee valorizzano il decolleté, segnano il punto vita, lasciano partire dalle spalle mantelli appena accennati, si abbandonano a strascichi importanti, impostano i tubini, la sirena, le bluse, l’abito corto e i pantaloni secondo un’impronta gentile, ma molto elegante.

Una collezione sposa e cerimonia davvero raffinata, assolutamente atipica, che ricorda lo stile delle grandi donne che hanno fatto la storia dell’eleganza.

L’allestimento ha sicuramente aiutato tutti noi spettatori a calarci nella “fiaba” di Chiara, e per questo ringraziamo Elena e Alice di Petali e BonBons.

Non mi resta che mostrarvi i nostri scatti della sfilata e invitarvi a vedere i capi dal vivo in atelier:

Chiara Vitale – Atelier Kore Milano

Corso Venezia, 2/A, 20121 Milano MI

***

Today I’m going to talk you about a fashion show I recently attended : Chiara Vitale – Atelier Kore a brand that I knew very little about, but that I have hugely heard of in the last few years. 

The design of the invitation with a wonderful lotus flower in the middle, had pleasantly impressed me, I love lotus flowers because it is born pure and graceful from the mud an it d represents an icon of courage and beauty.

The Ceremony and the Bridal collection take inspiration, in the first place, from the magical atmosphere of the pond, a seemingly still environment, but actually full of life, and secondly from the fairy tale of the golden frog.

A collection that comes to life thanks to the Plumetis, the bubbles, the micro and macro polka dots, and again the shamrocks and the frogs arranged like precious brooches. The lines enhance the décolleté, mark the waistline, they become soft and almost invisible cloaks that start from the shoulders, they loosen up to important trains, they structure tube dresses, mermaid dresses, blouses, the short dress and pants always according to a kind, but very elegant imprint. 

A truly refined and atypical bridal and ceremony collection, reminiscent of the style of the great women who have made the history of elegance.

The design of the set up has certainly helped us all to fall into Chiara Vitale’s “Fairy tale”, and would like to thank Elena and Alice from Petali and BonBons for this. 

Here some shots of the show, I invite you to see the dresses live at Chiara Vitale’s atelier.

A Story about Love: the Event

Milano – Sono giorni intensi quelli di giugno, la nostra stagione si è aperta in anticipo con il matrimonio ad Oxford del quale vi racconterò nel prossimo articolo e prosegue con le nozze dei nostri clienti stranieri in Italia, siamo in fermento con gli ultimi ritocchi, ma… voglio trovare il tempo per parlarvi di un progetto a cui tengo molto.

ELISA MOCCI, destination wedding planner di fama internazionale, che come me ha alle spalle 10 anni di lavoro nel settore del wedding, ha deciso di creare un happening semplicemente straordinario!

“A Story about Love” è l’evento che Elisa ha creato per celebrare il suo traguardo decennale, una Masterclass – dedicata alle tecniche della produzione di eventi di lusso e alle emozioni dello storytelling teatrale – che si terrà a Napoli dal 7 al 10 novembre 2018 presso il Teatro Sannazzaro, e che la vedrà accompagnata da un illustre team di esperti internazionali, tra i quali David Beahm, designer del matrimonio di Catherine Zeta-jones e Michael Douglass, Philippa Craddock, flower designer del recente Royal Wedding tra Harry & Meghan, Marie Cruz, planner australiana e vincitrice dell’ ELLE Bridal Award come best wedding planner 2017, e altri ancora.

Un viaggio che vi porterà a scoprire una Storia che parla d’Amore, in un’atmosfera iconica ispirata al Moulin Rouge.

Attraverso l’uso di parole chiave reinterpretate tramite luoghi, fiori, mani, musica, sguardi, ricordi, si delinea la Storia di Elisa, da cui nascono i sogni visionari che si trasformano in realtà.
E poi i colori, il fuoco, la passione, il coraggio per dare spessore alla ricerca dell’eccellenza, alla professionalità, alla capacità e volontà di fare dell’ impossibile il possibile solo per regalare un sogno che dura per sempre.

Uno spettacolo scritto da Elisa Mocci, diretto dal Cast di Elan Artists all’interno di una scenografia iconica creata dagli allievi dell’Academy diretti da Philippa Craddock, Marie Cruz, David Beahm.

A “spectacular spectacular” dinner show dove l’intero ricavato del Gala Dinner Show sarà devoluto in beneficienza alla Onlus creata da Elisa e che finanzierà progetti e borse di studio in ambito artistico, teatrale e musicale destinati a ragazzi e ragazze che sono vittime di bullismo a scuola.

Quando Elisa mi ha illustrato l’evento sono subito stata entusiasta, il concept dell’evento,  la location, gli ospiti internazionali, ma soprattutto il progetto Charity, davvero impossibile mancare!

“WE CAN BE HEROES JUST FOR ONE DAY” è il motto della serata!
