Tombolini chooses Zed_Comm for press office activities and media relations

Tombolini, a wine estate located in the Marche region that has contributed to enhance the extraordinary qualities of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi making this vine famous all over the world,  has chosen Zed_Comm as a partner for its communication activities for the Italian market.
The historic winery, born 100 years ago and today located in Staffolo, in the province of Ancona, has inaugurated a new chapter of its history exalting the unique character of the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi vine.  This change of pace is witnessed by the new techniques adopted in the vineyard and in the cellar to produce the two company labels, Castelfiora and Doroverde, but also by the contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Verdicchio amphora transformed into a jewel-bottle that contains two precious wines.

Budri Presents The New “Architexture” Collection By Patricia Urquola

2020 was a year of reflection, silence, sobriety, but also of wealth: we were able to recognize the importance of our country and its beauties. The large spaces and empty squares have allowed us to see the masterpieces of Italian architecture with new eyes.

The new Architexture Collection, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Budri which will be presented at the Budri Showroom in Foro Buonaparte during the Milan Design Week, is in fact inspired, albeit in a very contemporary form, by the Italian architectural tradition. Minimal and linear shapes leave voice to marble, the protagonist of modern and elegant tables.

Architexture includes eight tables of different heights and sizes: two circular and one rectangular dining-tables, two circular coffee-tables and three circular side-tables. Only apparently simple, the tables in the collection are the result of a deep and careful analysis of Italian architecture. The Leitmotiv of the entire collection are the bases of the tables, represented by self-standing columns in marble, composed of colored rings that alternate with each other.

An extensive artwork belonging to the same collection acts as a ‘backstage’ to the Architexture tables.

The “TuttoGreen” Carpet, made of green marbles, also represents a method for recovering processing material coming from the feet of the tables.

Villa Santo Stefano chooses Zed_Comm for press office activities and media relations in Italy

Villa Santo Stefano is the choice of Wolfgang Reitzle who, after many years as manager for leading car manufacturers in Germany, made the decision to produce his own wine and oil amongst the hills of Lucca, a land with a mild climate and generous harvests. Born in Neu-Ulm in Germany, Reitzle used to spend his summers in Italy with his family as a child. His passion for Tuscany led him to purchase Villa Bertolli, which should just have been a house to spend a few months in with his wife, Nina Ruge, in Tuscany but turned out to be transformed into an agricultural company dedicated to the production of oil and wine. Today the company produces around 50.000 bottles of wine and 2.000 liters of extra virgin olive oil in its 12 hectares of land, and its management pays special attention to the environment, as well as having a specially dedicated area for hospitality.
