This exclusive event will take place at our Como store and will be part of the off-festival during the prestigious Lake Como Design Festival, a celebration inspired by Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia. The Festival pays tribute to Pliny the Elder's quest for knowledge and appreciation of the wonders of the world.
Poster Campari Boschini 1928
The intersection of art, design and natural history is a fascinating weave that has crept through the pages of human creativity. In the advertisements, visitors will embark on an entertaining intellectual journey exploring the parallel evolution of animals from the early 1900s to the rise of television, from symbols and metaphors of human qualities to more complex beings such as friends and companions, admiring the creativity of iconic designers, including the brilliant works of Marcello Dudovich, Alfredo Busi, Armando Testa, etc.

Discovering the eternal attraction of animals in advertisements, beautifully brought to life by the creativity of famous illustrations in an environment driven by the ethos of Lake Como textiles, becomes a sustainable and responsible tribute to the beauty of nature.

Düsseldorf-based art consultant Sabine Broekmann has spent thirty years placing art in homes, galleries and design spaces. We asked her about atmosphere, collecting — and the Italian objects she chooses for herself.
There are places on Lake Como that you would not expect to exist. Casa Bianca Como is one of them. A historic villa open to the public since 2024, it houses a deeply personal contemporary art collection — works by Francesco Vezzoli, Pier Paolo Calzolari and others — alongside Cova, the historic Milanese patisserie. We went on a winter afternoon. We will return.
The things we value most about how we work were not invented. They were inherited — from the mills, the artisans, and the rhythms of life on Lake Como. And they are responsible. Zero waste. Transparent supply chain. Timeless design. No compromise.
