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.
