February 28, 2008
MILAN, Italy -- This year, the World Preview of Furnishing Fabrics and Curtains promoted by Ascontex Promozioni and the Consorzio Tendaggio Italiano will feature two new faces. Franco Zeffirelli, renowned director and production designer of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, will attend the XVI Exhibition. Welcoming him will be The Queen, the new exhibition symbol by artist Sergio Toppi.
Zeffirelli is an internationally-acclaimed director, having won an Academy Award for his 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet. He is also known for his elaborate production work, having used elaborate displays of textiles in his works. He has produced for both the Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Rome Opera House.
The Queen was created by Sergio Toppi. Toppi is known for his comic work and pen with china ink illustrations. The Queen gives the exhibition a new image, setting it apart from the realist and pop-art symbols of the past years. Its image can been seen on the Proposte website at www.propostefair.it.
The XVI Exhibition will be held from May 7-9, 2008 at Villa Erba, Cernobbio, Lake Como.
