    Time, Diversity, and Provocation

    Letizia Airos & Mila Tenaglia(May 18, 2014)
    Maestro of Italian design Gaetano Pesce invites us into his atelier-studio in Soho. Our conversation touches upon the work that has earned him international renown, and the fine line between art, architecture, and design. “Error is a big part of being human. Men and women are meant to be different from machines, not to be perfect. Error, and misdeed, and imperfection. People are wrong to try to do things perfectly. They say that error is vile and evil, but I don’t see it that way. What’s evil is repeating one’s errors.”

    Judith Harris(January 22, 2014)
    On view through March 16 in the stately halls of the Quirinal Palace in Rome is a stunning exhibition of 110 archaeological treasures, paintings and religious objects, retrieved by the crack Carabinieri art squad over the past three years. The stolen items range from a 6th C. BC warrior's helmet to red- and black-figured Attic vases, a huge gilded cross taken from a church, a pile of rare ancient coins, and l8th Century paintings of Roman ruins. Says General Mariano Mossa: "The illicit trade in art works is now fourth after the clandestine dealing in arms, drugs and financial products. It often involves international organized crime and money laundering. And now they are using the Internet to sell abroad."
