    My name is Federica and today coffee is on me, together with Christmas Design. We're

    guide if you are in Bergamo during the event.
    Anyway, well, listen to it, because a coffee break in the company of creative people is always a good idea!
    There are 14 + 1 episodes: one for each installation, plus an introductory one in which the
    organizers introduce the event and tell its genesis.
