An intercultural bridge between Rome and St. Petersburg. A path made possible thanks to the activities of artistic enhancement that the Italian Consulate in Russia has already started some time ago. On October 16, RUFA lecturer Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi will go to the city founded by Tsar Peter the Great to discuss the relationship between design and aesthetics. Title of the event “Learning from the Italian design”. The experience, aimed at increasing the international vision of RUFA, will also be attended by the head of the orientation and international recruitment René Angeramo.
“Italian design – says Prestinenza Puglisi – has always had important awards. It has been able to give shape to new ways of life while maintaining, at the same time, intense connections with art but also with fashion and good taste. The meeting will try to briefly retrace these aspects, focusing on recent trends; it will try to identify in the sense of measure, space and materials, as well as in the refusal to separate the design of design objects from architectural design, the main characteristics that distinguish Italian design. And he will verify how these characteristics, in the present, have evolved towards products sensitive to ecological research and also to the demand for play, sensuality, perceptual well-being. An attitude, a direction that is now part of RUFA educational project, aimed more and more at internationalization.
