The image chosen this year depicts “a Lioness hovering high and offering us this anniversary, the 90th – explains Lorenzo Mattotti – 90 years have passed since the first edition of the exhibition and for this reason we wanted the image to have some classic lines, as well as classic was the choice of the gold background. The gold color is also a reference to the posters of the early decades of the twentieth century. The exhibition has always been classic, but also provocative. Here the Lion, symbol of power and strength, has turned into a Lioness, which has elegance and creativity in it. After 90 years, the Lion of Venice, symbol of the exhibition, has now become a Lioness who flies through history with energy and lightness, a symbol of hope, far from the aggression and ferocity “. Lorenzo Mattotti, 68, lives and works in Paris. He made his debut at the end of the 70s as a comic book author and in the early 80s he founded the Valvoline group with other designers.
