It is unusual, when assembling an exhibition, to find everything so straightforward and such a smooth, and friendly collaboration. It is also a surprise to find an expert and intelligent translator who can give real meaning to your work. But all this happened to me in the wonderful experience at the DDD Gallery. So, in addition to the emotion of exhibiting in a country which for all of us graphic designers is like a second home, there is the added pleasure of very rich humane contact. Furthermore there is the opportunity of an exchange of fertile wide and diverse experiences to discover how many points of contact there can be even between people of different culture but alike professional interests. Nothing to do with a leveling as in anonymous globalization but rather the coming together of ancient traditions and new cultures and techniques. Italo Lupi
