ORLANDO FURIOSO BY LUDOVICO ARIOSTO
This is the beginning of the dream of Antonella Dellepiane Pescetto, Founder & Creative Director of Orlando. “Since my early childhood I have felt the desire to be able to express myself through means that have been creative, reserved and behind the scenes…First music, then literature and then art.”
Orlando, the first publication by Tessiore publishing, is a biannual magazine of culture and creativity and is the bastion of Antonella’s impassioned mind. Contemporary art, design, music, opera, wine, vintage cars, mazes and craftsmanship. These, as well as other subjects, have been discussed and explored in the magazine.
An imaginary Hotel, a Hotel for the mind in which the reader can enjoy a deserved Cultural Stay, discovering stimuli and inspiration, a place within which they might move through its thematic floors, rediscovering the joy of hospitality, thanks to the creative and artistic guests who populate this Imaginary Hotel.
This first issue of Orlando is guided by a literary theme (as every issue of the magazine) that has been developed throughout the magazine’s Editorial and in the Short Art Movie.
This first issue follows in the footsteps of Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, that inspired Antonella, together with Orlando by Virginia Woolf, to choose this glorious name for the magazine.
Orlando is a Modern Macenas and it’s enthusiast to commission unique projects to fascinating contemporary artists. In this case the magazine commissioned to the wonderful illustrator Elisa Seitzinger her version of the Orlando Furioso and Orlando had also the privilege to publish, for the first time, the unpublished work of Luigi Serafini (author of the Codex Seraphinianus) La Langue des Oiseaux, which inspired a virtuous interview.
In this issue you will have a chance to meet the Lady Gourmande Melissa Forti, the British Wallpaper Designer Anna Glover, the hyper realistic Artist who did the last portray of the Queen, Miriam Escofet and the Visionary Creator of the Codex Seraphinianus, Luigi Serafini. You will be able also to discover the restaurant Ora in Berlin, the Maze of Franco Maria Ricci, magnificent Libraries photographed by Massimo Listri and so much more!
