Pino Boresta recounts the story of ARIA magazine, an independent Roman art publication
Pino Boresta and his team from A.R.I.A. have created a distinctive art publication known as ARIA magazine, which debuted in December 2011 with its zero issue. The first complete edition, "ROSSO," was published in March 2012.

The second edition, named "non-si-sa-poi-cosa," arrived in July 2012, followed by the third in December. The fourth issue, titled "C'era una volta una volta sola," was launched in June 2013, while the series concluded with "De-Siderio Dis-Astro."
