BIRTHDAY WITH CRIME (BIRTHDAY WITH CRIME)
- March 17, 2022
There was a crime a Villa Bornello. The victim, male, around thirty years old, distinct in its gray pinstripe, was found stabbed in the lounge. He was one of the guests at the NYPD dinner, that was held here with us. The year runs 1922 and all the guests are in great shape. Just before sitting down at the table, a scream tears the air. The man lies on his back with a knife in his side. The investigations are entrusted to the Chief Inspector Martina – of which, coincidentally, it is also the birthday
Making his way between ostrich boas, plumes, feathers, Borsalino, cigars and fringed skirts, Martina reaches the body. Searching him finds the first clues; others immediately follow. By pressing those present, he reconstructs the picture and in a few hours solves the case by tracing the evidence with the help of trusted assistants.
Towards evening the twist: while like Nick Carter at the end of the episode he points out the culprit, the skilled inspector is surprised by Carlotta, her most trusted collaborator and organizer of the evening than, kneeling in front of her, he hands her a ring asking her to marry her.
The costume party and the birthday murder were a surprise. But for Martina it was not the only one.
Congratulations to the brides.
![The exhibition tells not only the history of the projects but also the portrait of a generation of clients.
[e]DesignFestival creates a project path, of history and society.
Villa Bornello, drawn by one of the protagonists, Roberto Pamio, and by Renato Toso, participate with drawings, objects and talks, at an event featuring six architects and, potentially, thousand clients. Many of the latter are born at the turn of the years 20 e 30. Thee are teenagers when they live with the Germans and avoid Allied bombs. They are lucky enough to be able to rebuild. A 30-40 years lived the Marshall plan and the economic boom. Sometimes without too much schooling, they understood, willpower and religion of work. An all-Veneto DNA steeped in a dialect that lubricates negotiations and cements friendships, which changes meaning in Italian: 'Arrivism' not as opportunism, utilitarianism, selfishness but as redemption, self-esteem. Arriving removes the rubble of poverty, of a large recent emigration, of a conflict whose echoes are still heard. E’l "habitus" by Bordieu, a role related to one's work, to a social position thanks to goods, practices and circles of people. Wealth and social recognition for a generation that is unique in its own way, not so much for the results achieved by some, as well as because widespread capitalism was born with them. Before them an agricultural Veneto, few large industrial companies, a discreet illiteracy; for many others the first class would have cost a thousand lire and the second one hundred, the third pain and fear.
The house is born & càpanon that Paolini tells at the theater, then the North East model, the districts with all their strength and limitations.
We need something to testify, how celebrated, what guests, that sells. The exhibition tells of villas, factories, condominiums, monuments (but also of public works) and products of that "widespread industry of consumer goods with medium technological content, but with a high image content” as Masiero says, entrusted to architects who interpret the style and expectations of private clients or companies. #villabornello](https://i0.wp.com/www.villabornello.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png?ssl=1)
