An event celebrating the young Italian star in the world of design, capable of emblematic, sensational and impressive gestures. The exhibition, curated by Beppe Finessi, is a courageous tribute to an author at the height of his creativity and vitality, between industrial, interior and set design.
A brand new interpretation of the space, in which the relation with the existing structure has been conceived in a dialectical and complex way, between affinity and contrast. At the entrance the exhibition set up totally denies the location, limits contracts and dissolves it, creating some kind of silent preamble in fragments, where – in a gathered and closed ambient, the smallest and more precious objects of Novembre’s work are displayed.

Then you immediately find yourself under the skylight, completely plunged in the space of the Rotonda. This second moment, blasting, fluent and impressive as in a movie, is dominated by the presence of a long ribbon that physically follows back the flight paths of the swallows, that the subtititle of the exhibition evokes – from a small sheet of paper that a street poet gave to Novembre some years ago – and takes the visitor along the same free paths of project of the author.
The interpretation of the work of this young author becomes the chance for a true original staging. Poising in the air, the ribbon brings us in the reading of Novembre’s thought through the fields of affections on which his creativity has been reflecting for years: heart, love, sex, body, nature, profiles and long flights. A journey through interior designs, objects from the past (the first objects, dating back to 1988, had already received awards and kudos from the critics) and others displayed for the very first time, all interpreted in a strikingly original way.
Concomitantly with the exhibition a monograph on the author will be published by Skira.
