The Art of Balance #72 | Luca Timpani, how will you greet?
The lawyer and art influencer is the 72nd participant in the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Luca Timpani offers an analysis of the role the handshake and the kiss have had throughout history, “thousand-year-old traditions” that are disappearing with the advent of the Coronavirus. The guest then answers this episode’s question: “I think it’s early to say when our greeting habits will be reintroduced in work places, religious rituals, sport events or at dinners among friends,” he said, “but I’m convinced that the need for connection based on human nature is stronger than the fear of a pandemic”.

The Art of Balance | Edoardo Marcenaro, how will you work?
The business jurist once again takes part in Cittadellarte’s project “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy” answering another of the key questions of the initiative. Edoardo Marcenaro, after talking about his personal experience, reflects on the impact the pandemic has had on different professions, identifying a series of positive and negative changes brought about by smart working. “For a while,” he said, “the social element was replaced by an ‘online coffee’ or an ‘aperichat’, which the first time are fun, the second time are cut much shorter, the third time after greeting each other people don’t know what to say anymore”.

This episode’s guest stresses how relevant his field of competence can be: “When words are not enough, art responds with a silence pregnant of meaning”.

The Art of Balance #69 | Silvia Avallone, how will you communicate?
The writer is the 69th participant in the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Silvia Avallone reflects on how the pandemic has “swept away” appearance, elaborating on the fact that with the advent of a society of images and social media, communication has become a “spasmodic research for illusory perfection”. This episode’s guest goes on to answer the question posed by the project: “May each life be narrated like a novel,” she said, “may every word convey the indefinable complexity of the individual, avoiding the numbers with which we have been taught to assign value. Let’s learn again to use words to question and not to simplify, to create community and not controversy.”

Maria Chiara Valacchi, after focusing on the impact the pandemic has had on our daily lives, answered the question posed by the project: “I would like to meet better,” she said, “feel the sheer joy of getting to know, of discovering others, dedicating time and more attention to them, thinking about the value of the moment itself, of the encounter as a gift and not as a certainty”.

The Art of Balance #67| Cristiano Bianchi, what will you work on?
The architect and president of the Ruralia association is the 67th guest of the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Cristiano Bianchi presents a narrative of the future, telling us about the creation and peculiarities of Ruralia, a model for a new life on Earth and for a new global political order not based on nation states anymore, but on connections between ‘real communities’, united by the same principles and objectives. “The aim,” we read on the Ruralia manifesto, “is to develop a new fair and sustainable model of life on our planet, centred on man, nature and technology, and constituting the basis for a new global socio-political organisation”.
