Cinello's DAW® Technology - Art, Creativity and Innovation from Italy

An interview with Cinello co-founder Franco Losi. NFT and DAW® art is hotly debated but for prospective buyers, gallery owners and even museums, the question is what exactly are they getting and how safe is a DAW® purchase. Amour Fou & Art Magazine obtained an interview from one of the two founders, Franco Losi about the founding years, the collaboration with the Uffizi and most importantly how the DAW® technique differs from a traditional NFT technique.

ANNA MARIA LUISA DE MEDICI

Düsseldorf's reputation as a city of art was decisively established when Princess Anna Maria Luisa Maria de Medici came to Düsseldorf as the wife of Elector Johan Wilhelm, called Jan Wellem. She founded the first European picture gallery and was a patron of painters, sculptors and composers, in the Medici tradition.The Medici family conducted trade and banking business throughout Europe and provided three popes. The family was so influential that it was hard to imagine an end to its rule.

THE LIVING HOTEL DE MEDICI -

A WORK OF ART FOR DÜSSELDORF

An interview with Léa Rogacki, Director of Reservations, Living Hotel De Medici.

A hotel that enters into a symbiosis with its art objects and appears as a work of art itself. A museum and a cabinet of wonders of art from the late Middle Ages to modern times. The hotel is a dedication to the Medici family, whose culture found its way here on the Rhine through the Florentine princess Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici Medici - and finally, the art collection of the Hotel De Medici is also a generous gift to the city of Düsseldorf.

Whether art, architecture, theater, ballet or music. The density of museums in and around the Rhine metropolis is quite unique in Germany. Outstanding examples are The Gehry buildings in the Medienhafen and the Kö-Bogen by Daniel Libeskind. The Goethe Museum in Düsseldorf is the most comprehensive and important in the world. The same is true for the visual arts. Movements like Zero, German Pop Art or the Düsseldorf School of Painting, artists like Joseph Beuys.

The "Düsseldorf Photo School" is an important part in the development of photography and art history. Between 1976 and 1996, 87 photographers studied with Professor Becher at the Art Academy. These include Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff and Andreas Gursky. It is thanks to this reputation that Düsseldorf could become the home of

the German Photo Institute.

Düsseldorf was also home for the outstanding poet Rose Ausländer.
