With a set designed by Oliviero Baldini, the Fortezza da Basso will be transformed into a kaleidoscopic experience of installations, light plays and surprising forays into the world of color. LIVINGCOLOR The LIVINGCOLOR exhibition staged by the Corriere della Sera magazine LIVING specifically for Pitti Immagine and dedicated to telling the story of color as an expression of creative energy. A photo gallery, located at the entrance to Just Like a Man on the Upper Level of the Main Pavilion, will explore the theme in all of its contemporary nuances, as well as the infinite ways it can be interpreted in furnishing, decoration and design. #laviadelluomo Just Like a Man will be the setting for a special installation Le vie dell Uomo Following in the wake of the successful #LAVIADELLUOMO project dedicated to Milan s Via Gesù, the epicenter of Italian lifestyle for men, Just Like a Man will be the setting for a special installation Le vie dell Uomo, each edition of which will talk about the streets dedicated to luxury goods and men s fashions all over the world.
