Riccardo Dalisi, one of Italy's top designers, belongs to a generation of inventors and cultural protagonists working in Naples who have made their mark on the city's urban and natural landscape. Here Antonello Matarazzo, one of the most interesting contemporary visual artists around, capable of sophisticated visual contractions, collaborates with Bruno Di Marino, an expert in experimental cinema. They recount Dalisi and his copious inventions of forms, ranging from masks to sculptures to chairs, by hearing from his friends and colleagues: every street corner or cafeteria or school contains objects he has designed, items so iconic that they seem to have been part of the landscape forever.
