Limited Edition 2024
by Emiliano Ponzi
“The concept behind the label I created for La Pettegola is that of word of mouth, light gossip, the Chinese Whisper. The first person receives the "gossip" and reports it to the second, in an infinite loop. I like to think that each person portrayed in my artwork becomes aware not so much of a gossip, but of an intimate confidence whispered in their ear, perhaps after a couple of glasses of Vermentino. And it is precisely the "Pettegola", the real one, who chirps it first.”
Banfi presents: La Pettegola by Emiliano Ponzi
Banfi returns to amaze with the 2024 Limited Edition of La Pettegola, offering a label created by the award-winning Italian artist Emiliano Ponzi. The circularity of communication is at the center of Ponzi's artwork, who imagined La Pettegola as a voice, a secret (but not too secret) confidence whispered from ear to ear endlessly.The presentation event
The new Limited Edition was presented on February 5th in Rome, during an exclusive event held at Palazzo Esposizioni. A party attended by Emiliano Ponzi, the Banfi team, the Pettegola Lovers, journalists, bloggers, artists, influencers and many others.
