L'Espresso, now on newsstands Design of Light. And at the Fuorisalone, a dedicated event
It is light, which shapes spaces and ideas, the protagonist of the new Speciale de L’Espresso, edited by Emilio Carelli: Design di Luce. A collector’s issue, now on newsstands, embellished with a cover signed by illustrator Emiliano Ponzi and editorial consulting by Paolo Casicci, celebrating light as a key element of creativity and innovation.
Made in Italy is the world’s leading publisher of beauty, Casicci says, with light a metaphor for the future of design. It is a concept that also finds expression in Ponzi’s cover: There is a figure pointing his hand upward illuminated by a cone of light, with the presence of some design objects floating in the air, in a staging of amazement that makes them become something other than themselves, somewhat magical objects. Which is exactly what happens during the week of the Salone del Mobile, says the illustrator.
The Special was presented at the House of Action in Milan, in an event organized by L’Espresso and included in the Fuorisalone calendar. It was an occasion for discussion and inspiration in which talks moderated by the weekly magazine’s journalists took turns, featuring Clara Amodeo, creative director of Outdoora, illustrator Lavinia Fagiuoli and photographers Luca Santese and Marco P. Valli of the Cesura collective. The evening also featured an artistic performance by SteReal, of Outdoora, who painted a canvas inspired by the theme of light, the beating heart of this edition.
Inside the Special, contributions from big names on the international art scene stood out, including Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino, who for Salone del Mobile 2025 signs the project “La dolce attesa.” An installation that reflects on the concept of suspension, transforming the waiting room into an immersive experience: We talk about waiting for a report: that kind of waiting, in life, becomes a suspension of life. When we wait for our fate, all we can do is wait. Our waiting room is meant to be something else. It does not force you to stand still but lets you go. A little trip, like as a child, on reassuring rides, Sorrentino explains.
And again, an interview with American director and set designer Robert Wilson, who for this edition pays homage to Michelangelo’s Pietà Rondanini, exploring its forms and suggestions through light: The interesting thing is to see a project in the context of light, whether it’s in a room or on stage. Looking at the lines of the body and the details of the sculpture, it was the Pieta that guided me. It took me some time to really start seeing it. And I wanted to give the audience time to discover it as well. A dialogue is established between visitors and the sculpture, in the way it responds.
In the pages of the Special, there is also an exclusive interview with photographer Santi Caleca, who talks about his way of interpreting design through the lens: I don’t photograph the object. I try to photograph the thought behind it, thus revealing his method of capturing the essence of each creation.

There are many prominent figures, from the sports world and beyond, who came to Munich to watch the Champions League final between PSG and Inter: among them many VIP Nerazzurri fans, including Valentino Rossi, who has never hidden his support for the Beneamata. The nine-time MotoGP champion told ‘Sky Sport‘ his feelings.
“It’s great to be here– explained Rossi, who has won six times in Germany at the world championship level (one in 125 and 250, four in MotoGp), there’s a lot of tension but the atmosphere is incredible and I myself am excited. To see the stadium filling up minute after minute is extraordinary, I am really very happy to be here”.
The bond between Valentino Rossi and Inter has been witnessed on several occasions, the most recent of which saw the classic symbols that the ‘Dottore’ wears on his racing suits (first on motorcycles and then in cars, in GT championships) directly on the uniforms of the Nerazzurri club, on the occasion of the match between Inter’s Inter and Cagliari last April 12.
The legendary number 46 also therefore chose to attend Inter’s most important match of the season live. Rossi, this year, has lightened his calendar of motoring commitments by choice from the busy 2024 season, partly to be closer to his family, which in early January was further expanded with the birth of his second daughter Gabriella.

The Femi-CZ Rugby Rovigo Delta is rugby champion d’Italia for the fifth time in its history, the third in five years.
The Bersaglieri, in the final of the Serie A Elite Men” got the better of Rugby Viadana 1970 with a final score of 27-21, mainly the result of a 17-0 partial in the second half that frustrated the ambitions of the gialloneri, who came first in the regular season and number 1 seed in the playoffs.
At the “Sergio Lanfranchi” stadium in Parma, site of the tricolor rugby final, the red and blue team started well, taking the lead at 16′ with Moscardi’s goal converted by Thomson, but then (thanks to yellow cards with attached “sin bin” for Fourcade at 14′ and Frangini at 21′) suffered the retaliation of Gilberto Pavan’s men, who first equalized at 24′ with Wagenpfeil’s heavy scoring converted by Roger Farias, and then took over the reins of the match with goals by the same Farias and Sauze (both converted by the Argentine), for 21-7.
These, however, will be the last points of the entire match for Viadana: Rovigo, in fact, first shortened close to the whistle that sent the teams to’halftime with a Thomson square, then went wild (again initially taking advantage of a yellow, inflicted at 44′ on Morosini) in the second half, scoring with Della Sala at 51′ (Thomson transformation), Lertora on a free kick at 63′ and Moscardi at 72′, who completed the comeback: Thomson signs the transformation of the latter goal and it goes to 27-21.
The final is intense but the result does not change anymore: Rovigo thus wins its Scudetto number 15, continuing the great rugby tradition of a club that celebrated the Tricolor from 1951 to 1954, from 1962 to 1964, in 1976, 1979, 1988 (Star Scudetto) and 1990, before a long fast interrupted in 2016. The last titles are those of 2021, 2023 and the one won today. For Viadana, on the other hand, only regrets: the Gialloneri’s only scudetto remains the one won in 2002 in the final against Calvisano.
