Milano: Le Case D’Arte - Pizza magazine launch. Pizza magazine teamed up with Le Case D’Arte art gallery for the launch of their second issue. The indie magazine is self produced and published by Andrea Batilla and Sabrina Ciofi and there is no advertising. The magazine aims to scout young Italian talents from all creative fields, under the age of thirty, who “tell” contemporary Italian stories. Ironically the magazine is written in English as it is mostly sold abroad, the purpose of this is to spread the word about all things Italian as seen through the eyes of young Italian men and women. The live happenings in the art gallery revolved around artist and musicians using the magazine and its pages as inspiration.

NEW TALENT: Le Case D’Arte - Pizza magazine launch. The musical performance by Lorenzo Morri on his homemade mandolin was inspired by Pizza magazine’s play list. Lorenzo chose a mandolin because it’s origins are Neapolitan like pizza. He built the instrument himself from an old wooden box of oil paints, an anchovy tin and a piece of wood.
