A 'cushiony' welcome to everyone

With great joy and excitement, we invite you today to our Artrek Café, a 'traveling' living room where we share a passion for art and the pleasure of conviviality, discovering ever-changing destinations to reach—or dare we say, in homage to an unforgettable TV series—'where no man has gone before.'

An ambitious endeavor, certainly not without obstacles and uphill climbs, but we will strive to go as far as possible, touching on themes closely linked to art through shared perspectives, even if they belong to different fields like natural and social sciences.

There is always a thin—but very strong—thread that connects every expression of active intelligence in this wonderful world. By virtue of this, we would be pleased and honored to weave this thread together with you, turning it into many cushions and exchanging useful advice on life and how to live it—as Hölderlin would have said—'poetically.' Because to live poetically means to enjoy that state of grace that art offers us, allowing us to love our world beyond any short-sighted utilitarian dimension.

Behind every work of art, there is always a long story of love and adventure, taste and madness, research, exchange, and innovation. We are finally ready for this exciting journey.

A 'cushiony' welcome to everyone from Alessandra and Maurizio.
