ARTISTIC CONTAMINATION
The well-known passion for art of Alberto and Donatella has led to a unique “cross-contamination” of art in the realization of the laboratory headquarters. At the entrance, you can admire the large mural created by Francesco Baj and Elena Pazzagli, which combines colors and symbolic quotes to evoke the activities and discoveries of Alessandro Volta in a modern and emotional context. From the entrance and in all the rooms of the laboratory, there are works by various artists in a setting curated with the support of Giuliano Malimpensa, master of the forms and three-dimensional proportions of the products. Paintings and sculptures are arranged dynamically with the intent of giving beauty and artistic communication a role of attraction and dialogue with the staff and visitors, preferring works that symbolize post-consumerist culture, through the recovery of objects and materials. The pop and abstract language of Maria Donata Bitondo, Doriam Battaglia, Maurizio Chiaravalli, Luca Macchiavelli, Giuliano Malimpensa, and Alberto Baj thus finds hospitality and freedom of expression in the laboratory.
