FOR show the last jobs series of painter Beppe Devalle. Great blots allegorical machines that deal the topic of the suicide of the protagonists like paid price aware in order to assert the own creative identity.

Happy hours
Summer 2003: the Trussardi company wants to close “the Trottoir”, the last caffè bohemienne in the center of Milan. The owner of the caffè opposes itself to the eviction and he chain itself to the building attracting crowd of sympathizers.
For some days, an angle of the more efficient and formal city of Italy change in a medieval carnival square with a lot of painters, story-teller and dancers. Leaded by the pulp writer Andrea G. Pinketts, they socialize with pensioners, fotomodelle and professionals. But they'll not prevent the closing.
The taxidermist
Taxidermy is the art of preserving the skin of animals. Better known as embalming, began with the Dutch explorers that brought in country their discoveries in the seventeenth century.
Today that seems to be no longer anything new to explore, that the museums of natural sciences are seen as dusty containers of useless things, that the ecological conscience cries to the scandal in front of the stuffed animals, seen as an exhibition of bad taste of corpses, that hunting is disapproven more and more, which sense still has the figure of the taxidermist? Few. Indeed the job goes disappearing.
One of the few left in Italy is Agostino Navone. He has not invented a job, he has aged in a way that made it famous, and not just in Italy. Behind the simple caption "stuffed work" of artists such as Maurizio Cattelan lurks the craftsmanship of Agostino and the workers of his laboratory.

Flaminio Bertoni. Life, Genius and works.
Flaminio Bertoni has lived in Paris nearly all the life. Perhaps, he is more famous like the designer that has marked the history of the automobile in the past century, with the realization of the futuristic lines of the Traction Avant and the DS Citroen.
But there are two Bertoni in Flaminio, dissociated and indissoluble: the designer who earns his maintenance to the Citroen workshops creating the auto body lines, and the artist who studies, designs and carves all the nights for the love of the art.
