7 GEN 2021 · This final episode is dedicated to two extraordinary characters: Bruno Munari and Gianni Rodari. We bring this series of podcasts to a close by showing what unites these two outsiders, and why they were both, each in their own way, architects of a revolution. By putting together seemingly opposite and distant elements, they gave new meanings to letters and signs, following a parallel path for years, which resulted in books such as Filastrocche in cielo e in terra, Favole al telefono, Il pianeta degli alberi di Natale, Il libro degli errori, La torta in cielo, Il gioco dei quattro cantoni, C'era due volte il barone Lamberto. In this podcast you will hear how Bruno Munari conceived the sketches and doodles that animated Gianni Rodari's books. The creator of this episode is Pietro Corraini, with interviews with Marnie Campagnaro, Marzia Corraini and Vanessa Roghi.
20 DIC 2020 · The creation of Lego, the Child's chair by Charles and Ray Eames, the groundbreaking illustrations from Push Pin Studios. After our discussions about what happened in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s, let's look beyond Italy's borders and see how the worlds of design and childhood interacted across Europe and America.
The creator of this episode is Chiara Alessi, with interviews with Steven Guarnaccia, Seymour Chwast and Paola Antonelli.
8 DIC 2020 · In this series of podcasts, we have tried to get to the bottom of what brings the worlds of design and children together. And in doing so, we came up with a question. Why did Bruno Munari, an indisputable name in the world of design, take such an interest in childhood? We asked Alberto Munari, Bruno Munari's son, psychologist and epistemologist, and professor emeritus at the University of Geneva for an answer. He replied with a written - part story, part article - which starts off with some boxes!

3 DIC 2020 · From the Libri Illeggibili to the Scatole designed with Giovanni Belgrano, from the 16 animali to Il posto dei giochi, Bruno Munari and Enzo Mari created books and games by reflecting on children's need to create their own space, define their own rules and create a magical and ever-changing dimension. A unique kind of experimentation, made possible thanks to the choice made by Jacqueline Vodoz and Bruno Danese to produce highly innovative games with the Danese company. A union that helped overcome an antiquated didactic tradition, and which will make game design a tool for learning. Children have fun interacting with interlocking structures, with books made from wood and transparent plastic pages, with pieces of paper to be placed or recombined in an infinite number of ways.
Francesca Zanella is the creator of this episode, featuring interviews with Beppe Finessi, Francesca Giacomelli and Marco Romanelli.
19 NOV 2020 · What does design have to do with the historical, political, cultural, social and economic events that marked the sixties and seventies in Italy and around the world? The answer is: everything. In this episode we talk about some figures that have left their mark on the history of Italian design: Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Bruno Munari, Gaetano Pesce, Riccardo Dalisi and Enzo Mari. Each one, in its own way, triggered a reflection on the role of design, its possibilities and the usefulness of its inclusion in the social context. Always trying to involve the collective and awaken people's creative instincts. Through some words such as irony, functionality, commitment, self-design, and research. This was how bicycle seats, tractor chairs, armchairs that took the shape of the female body and furniture that people built themselves with nails and a hammer burst their way into living rooms. The creator of this episode is Damiano Gullì, with interviews with Giovanna Castiglioni, Beppe Finessi, Francesca Giacomelli and Marco Romanelli.
2 NOV 2020 · There was a massive revolution afoot in Italian education in the 1960s and 70s. Some teachers introduced a new way of being in the classroom and teaching. Mario Lodi took his pupils to fields and factories, Don Milani opened a school in Barbiana where you learn by doing, Alberto Manzi went on TV and taught adults to read and write. With The Grammar of Fantasy and his teaching approach, Gianni Rodari brought a new vision of education. In that time of great change, these teachers gave space to children and gave voice to their rights. With their educational choices and techniques, they made their experience something to pass down to everyone and changed the history of teaching in Italy forever. The creator of this episode is Alex Corlazzoli, with interviews with Luciana Bertinato, Rosellina Archinto, Alessandra Falconi and Vanessa Roghi.
