By Patricia Urquiola
Located in Sant'agata De' Goti, BN
In 2020 MADE IN EDIT invites Patricia Urquiola to visit the Istituto a Indirizzo Raro Caselli Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte inside the Real Bosco, discovering its ancient tradition and the cloister where the school's didactic garden was originally located.

Thus the collection "Hybrida" for MADE IN EDIT was born: objects and centerpieces that bring an ancient model...
