This fifth edition of Lake Como Design Festival continues until October 15 with the exhibition Between Art and Nature. Photographs from the collection of Carla Sozzani at the former Orsoline San Carlo Convent in Como. The exhibition, curated by Maddalena Scarzella, presents a selection of 80 photographs from the permanent collection of the Fondazione Sozzani in Milan, offering a new look at the collection not as a whole, but focusing attention on those works in which Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, study, reference, veneration, estrangement, comfort.
