Founded in Bologna (Italy) in 1986 by a group of 15 young italian
architects, Bolidism suddenly became successful and popular as a new
artistic movement in the design sector, immediatly capturing the
communication world: its formal sign was the dynamic and curved line.
By synthesis, the figure of a new professional man is outlined with the
characteristic of material and thinking mobility, using intuition as
working instrument and the planet as his action-field.
The bolidists: Maurizio Castelvetro, Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni, Guido
Venturini, Stefano Giovannoni, Anna Perico, Fabrizio Galli, Roberto 'Rocky'
Semprini, Pierangelo Caramia, Daniele Cariani, Dante Donegani, Ernesto
Spicciolato, Bepi Maggiori, Giusi Mastro, Massimo Iosa Ghini, Maurizio
Corrado.
