BRUNO MANTOVANI: Le Sette Chiese

Let us open wide the doors of the hothouse so that wind, rain and snow rush in. Maurice Maeterlinck’s image ideally fits Bruno Mantovani as well as the first impression one has of him. That impression is one of youthfulness and freshness, of an unexpected and simultaneously encouraging simplicity and health in a world in which these characteristics are atypical, not to say suspect.
