GRIFONE PARK

I don't like sport, I don't like ride horses and I don't play tennis.

But I love Grifone Park.

I love it because it means also nature, good cooking, fredom.

I like thinking about Grifone park just like as the park of freedom, the place where everybody can choose the favourite activity, following their own inclinations, giving life at their desires, achieving their dreams.

I like to know that there is a place that can be lived in a different way from everyone of us.

A family measured place, able to speak to men and women, children and old people.

Walking along the Park alleys, immersed in the melted and unripe beauty of the Lombardy country-side, accompanied by the submerged sonorities of the water that runs all around me, I think of the perfect balance that has been realised in the Grifone Park.

As in a well written scene arrangement, every element gets harmonically insert in a more general drawing here. I remember calvino's words and his american lessons.

Lightness, quickness, exactness, visibility, multiplicity. Five universal values to take in the new millenary, five fundamental ingredients to build a work of art.

I enjoy myself searching in the Grifone Park a realization of these values and I am not surprised certifying that somehow they are all present.

First of all lightness, the art of subtraction. In a variety of the activities in the richness of the programs and in the vastness of the architectonic project, that is a common stile that governs the Grifone park, a sobriety that talks of lightness.

Here everything is essential, dry, airy.

Here there is a lot of space and while the mind rests, the eye runs fast.

Then the rapidity, the art of surprise.

What impresses in this park is exactly the rapidity of passages, the variety of the activity.

From tennis to swimming, from gardening to horse-riding, every corner of this extraordinary place presents something to do.

Even doing nothing that maybe the sweetest thing to do.

The exactness, the art of precision. In the Grifone Park nothing is casual.

A careful direction has organised the spaces and the activities in a perfect way.

How Musly says in "A perfect man without quality", there are problems that don't accept just a solution, but many single solutions that combined get near to the general one.

Grifone Park is exactly this, a wonderful picture which total beauty born directly from the beauty of each stroke of the brush that compose it.

Visibility, the art of the imagination.

The Grifone Park is a simmering of images. Symbols, metaphors, visual ideas that get materialised infront of your eyes.

Water, soil, horses, trees, birds, flowers, food.

In the Grifone park we can really exercise in simulating that tipically human faculty looking with closed eyes, thinking with images.

At last multiplicity, the art of complexity.

The Grifone park recalls an encyclopaedic work.

The variety and the vastness of offers recalls exactly an illuministic encyclopaedia but re-proposed in a modern key, the open work art one, constantly adjourned.

The Grifone Park is a container of ideas in costant transformation.

Here nothing is static and immutable, everything is pervaded by a creative energy that transforms ideas in realisations, problems in solutions

I should go back in office, but I don't wish to.

I go and sit under a poplar, I close my eyes and think at the quality of life.

Dreams that become reality, reality that becomes...ZZZZZzzzzzz...
