Event 2022

Capisce a me - Caffè Napoli

This event is inspired by Neapolitan gestures

Stepping into a café in the heart of Milan and finding yourself in Naples. Majolicas’ vivid colours, the intense scent of real Neapolitan coffee, and a new protagonist of the city’s tradition: hand gestures.

 

On Thursday 9th of June, Caffe Napoli will give you the unique and unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in a complete sensory experience. During the Fuorisalone 2022, in celebration of the 7 years anniversary of the brand, “Capisce a me” will be launched. This project focusses on the skilful use of gestures as a language that is able to communicate, become a discourse and transmit a message. And even go as far as recreate an atmosphere, the atmosphere of Naples. 

 

Designed and produced by Elisabetta Wolleb and Paola Cosenza (COZ), “Capisce a me” is inspired by Bruno Munari’s work. The project strives to connect, using the tools of design, two symbols of the Neapolitan tradition: coffee and gestures.

 

Naples is creativity, genius, imagination. Gestures, used as a way to communicate, allow the people of Naples to be understood everywhere. Naples is the art of cooking, it’s music, it’s theatre and it’s gestures. We believe that enjoying a real coffee means being able to fully experience the Neapolitaness of this ritual. From the very beginning, Caffe Napoli has enthusiastically supported our project, which we are very happy about.

During the Fuorisalone, in the Caffe Napoli store at Largo la Foppa, 1 in Milano, from 18pm to 21pm the interior and exterior of the store will be set up.

Printed clothes hanging out to dry like laundry, gestures, sharing, coffee: all of this under Milanese porticos, just outside of the Moscova metro stop.
