If a library is a mirror of a personality, then a photograph of a shelf is a sort of selfie.  In that spirit we bring you the shelfie: a series of self-portraits with books. 
Today we explore the library of  Luigi Caricato, author, journalist and creator of the cultural forum Olio Officina. A much sought after lecturer, he is also an organizer of various cultural events.

Today we explore the library of Leonardo Di Carlo, master pastry chef, teacher, author and television personality. In more or less perpetual motion, his consulting business takes him to destinations around the world where his expertise is avidly sought by companies and chefs in the pastry sector. A highly personal didactic style has made him a much requested teacher, one who combines empathy and strong communication skills with a deep scientific understanding of his trade.  A great success on the home front, his book Tradizione in Evoluzione has recently been translated into English.

A well organized exhibitions possess, I believe, a double tier of interpretation. This is certainly the case for the fine show at the Milan Triennale until 22 February. After that date it will move on to Bergamo where it will remain until the end of October.
Camminare la terra, curated by Aldo Colonetti, Alberto Capatti and Gian Arturo Rota, is dedicated to Luigi Veronelli. Not a large exhibition, it has been mounted in a small space on the first floor of the site. In fact, a single glance will suffice to understand the style of the initiative and to be moved by the rich and fertile terrain covered. Here is a life lived intensely, packed with interdisciplinary activity and wide-ranging stimuli, a personal and professional profile of great stature. It is possible to approach the exhibition from a more philological standpoint, moving from photograph to photograph, text to text, book to book. For those fortunate enough (as I was) to be professionally active in the 70s, the show will solicit many memories. Books and objects, perhaps many of them familiar and cherished, offer countless opportunities to connect with the past and it is surprising to discover that they are traceable to a single individual. Camminare la terra offers a fine entry point to relatively recent enogastronomical history, unwinding through the life’s work and personal testimony of one of the most significant figures to address Italian material culture of the twentieth century. Don’t miss it.
