«We should all return something back to Nature.»
Gabriele Meneguzzi

— For everything that it’s offering us, we always feel grateful to Nature.
Not only because of our art or our work, but also for the beauty, emotion and breath that it gives to us. Thus, when the air becomes biting we feel obliged to protect it. How? “Knitting” a warm woollen blanket on it, unravelling by a great ball of wool and thickening more and more the weave until it enters the ground to give it a warm warmth.
