DC 10 CONCEPT BOOK. SENSATIONS, IMAGES AND NEW SOURCES OF INSPIRATION TO TELL THE STORY OF THE DC10 PROJECT.
The DC10 project created by Vincenzo De Cotiis for Rossana has a fascinating story to tell, and Rossana has dedicated a book - conceived by Massimo Castagna - to this story. The book illustrates the originality and scenographic presence of a design object - a presence that is as symbolic as it is material - offset, in this visual narrative, by the ethereal presence of a female form, which lends a human touch to the project itself.

The photography accompanying this narrative is by Filippo Thiella. The photos are accompanied by stunning words by Eugenio Alberti, an intense, vibrant writer whose prose enhances the visual experience with an incisive outlook that enchants the reader with metaphors and erudite references to the worlds of cinema, music, art and design. Concluding the book is a more informative section with a brief descriptive summary of the DC10 and a profile of its creator, Vincenzo De Cotiis, the visionary artist and designer who is also responsible for the concept for the book. A project of such superlative quality demands means worthy of representing it. Rossana could simply have made a catalogue to present the DC10. But it made a book instead.
