“What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t. There are whole worlds around us that we’ve never glimpsed.” Greil Marcus — Monday July 1st — —

The House of Peroni

This week The House of Peroni will open its doors in London. For one month only it will showcase todays most exciting creative talent defining contemporary Italian culture. You will get a chance to attend at events and workshops including a talk with Giovanni Alessi Anghini about what inspired the creation of his iconic products, a tour with Andrea Morgante looking at the Italian influence on Londonʼ skyline and much more.

The house will feature Italian Culture in its broadest sense: Michelin starred chefs Christian and Manuel Costardi were asked to create a special Italian dining experience called the ‘assaggi’ (taste) and the innovator and mixologist Gerry Calabrese, son of the Italian cocktail maestro Salvatore Calabrese, created an exclusive drinks menu.
There will be many more inspiring events during this month, all sharing their passion for Italian design, art, fashion, photography, film, music, food and drink culture. If you are around, ‘join the new wave of visionaries defining contemporary Italian culture’ at The House of Peroni.

Open to the public from 3rd July (12pm-12am) and free to enter at 41 Portland Place, London W1B 1QH.
