Interview with Federico Unia, artist
Rebirth means for me…
a magical moment, more than having something from scratch, is about taking care of something so much that it will relive … born again, means sublimating the birth itself! A revival is definitely unique and prosperous, the Renaissance is the historical emblem of the word, a continuous research of our distinct characteristics.
What makes me happy… life, the discovery of the emotions, the preservation of wonder at the simple things, in a few words, anything close to the spirit of “child” praised in the verses of the “Fanciullino” by Pascoli.
My wellness or beauty practice that makes me feel well… the art of good and beautiful in every field of life, the constant search for better, enough to want to take the risk of having delusions because of the high expectations, feeling well is taking care of your body and spirit, in healthy habits and lifestyle.
Change is…correcting a wrong course, we change as we understand how to move forward, and not before, if this is not known prior to follow it would be a choice of a new road and not change. Change is the search for a better reach, something that comes close to the concept of the Renaissance.
Where I find energy and positivity…in the rest, in the search for harmony between body and spirit, in love, in art, in positivism, which contributes to a healthy diet and lifestyle, the search for the care of your body and the things that are around us and that interact with us.
Where my rebirth happens…personally reborn every day starting from my bed, the place that ends a day and gives rise to a new one, an ongoing daily rebirth to chase great achievements.
Discover the wonder around us… Rebirth also means to walk around with no hurries and be lost among the streets of Milan, entering into its courts… Our path starts right in the heart of the city, in Via Rossini 3: a magical spot, cradle of art and design, consisting of a system of courts that since the late nineteenth century have been home of creativity and genius. Among the others, worked here the sculptor Medardo Rosso, the designer Marcello Nizzoli and the painter Lucio Fontana.
Today the same poetic ateliers host artists, architects, artisans and creativeness in all its variety, to witness the perpetual fervent industriousness of Milan. Just indulge for a second, enter here by leaving the boredom outside, live a rebirth moment contemplating this fabulous spot… Here is for the curious ones, for who wakes up in the morning with the desire of wonder. Here is to discover an eclectic space for architecture and its vibrant activities. A magical and refined one, always called “ The house of the artists .”
These courtyards for us represent at best the concept of rebirth: here the floral crown that is part of our logo was conceived and born in a cold but sunny morning of last winter. In another way, we received from this special spot, rich of heritage, the lifeblood of creativity that animates the You First Pura Rinascita project.
Interview with FABRIZIO MANACHINI, choreographer and theater director.
Rebirth it means for me… Learn something new when you are no more learning from what you are doing. Sometimes it is just a book or a movie or some music that you discover! All this generates new inputs that lead to the creation of new projects, and achieving them it gives us a rebirth every time! And if you do not reach your goals you still learn from your mistakes and try again. When you believe in what you do results and satisfaction always come!
What makes me happy… Many things make me happy: to see the people I love, overcome a challenge, but also simply an evening with dear friends or a sunny day! Never underestimate the simple things, often are the most elegant ones!
My wellness or beauty practice that makes me feel well… With no doubt: the dance. It is good for body and soul: it is culture, elegance and discipline. These three things are never as valuable today as they are increasingly rare.
Change is… Change stands for growth, and renewal always starts from our past. If you have made mistakes, and it always happens, the important thing is not to redo exactly the same! We will do other mistakes then, and we will learn from them as well!
Where I find energy and positivity… Surely at the sea, on the rocks. Listening to music, sometimes classical, sometimes very pop. This way you can choose the most appropriate soundtrack according to the dynamics and the colors of the sea. You can travel with the imagination, without moving a centimeter: very convenient and no expensive at all!
Where my rebirth happens… Still without a doubt: the sea! Again: the simplicity of the water is elegant and regenerating
