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.
Poster Toothpaste Odol Duse 1942
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.

Every Nosetta piece begins with the fabrics of Como—the same exceptional textiles that supply the world's luxury houses. But understanding why these fabrics are exceptional requires going deeper. Recently, director Maddalena Terragni guided us through the Fondazione Antonio Ratti's extraordinary collection: over 3,300 textile fragments spanning from the third to the twentieth century. What Antonio Ratti began in the 1950s as personal design inspiration has become an invaluable public resource. For those of us working with Como textiles, it's a return to the source—a reminder that we're not simply buying fabric, but participating in a heritage that spans centuries.
Certain places on Lake Como hold their secrets close. Villa La Cassinella, perched on a private peninsula near Lenno, is among the most discreet. As for its owner, speculation ranges from Richard Branson to various other names, though the villa itself maintains studied silence. Chef Alessia cooked here this summer, and she's sharing a holiday risotto recipe from those months—one that traces her journey from Como to Copenhagen's Michelin kitchens and back home.
Nestled in the historic villa of 19th-century opera legend Giuditta Pasta, Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como represents the pinnacle of Italian hospitality. The resort's breathtaking 40-meter infinity pool, designed by Herzog & De Meuron, appears to merge seamlessly with Lake Como's emerald waters. Century-old botanical gardens, Michelin-starred dining at L'ARIA, and an award-winning spa create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. In this sanctuary of authentic luxury, Nosetta's handcrafted Italian accessories find their natural home—understated pieces that complement the resort's philosophy of refined sophistication.
