Festival dell'Amore Returns to Triennale Milano in June
The second edition of the Festival dell'Amore, conceived by Franco Bolelli and Manuela Mantegazza, will take place in June at Triennale Milano. The festival's manifesto declares love as a life model, aiming to counteract cynicism and hatred by promoting passion and strong feelings. In an interview, Bolelli and Mantegazza discuss their book 'Tutta la verità sull'amore' and the idea that a happy couple can be a subversive cell. They argue that love is not taught in schools and that one can only become an expert in love by loving. The festival invites all fields—construction, design, communication—to contribute to the discourse on the most important human sentiment. The interview was conducted by Stefania Gaudiosi, an artist, curator, and cultural promoter.
