A classical music festival to rediscover the Tuscan section of the old Via Francigena; to achieve this goal the Regione Toscana and the European Association of the Via Francigena decided to start the Francigena melody Road project. A festival with 13 concerts in 13 different and evocative locations along the Via Francigena.

23 title Happiness economy client Associazione 360 target National year 2009
A conference to discuss economy...or better, to discuss happiness economy. Its location was the Piaggio Museum of Pontedera and Danae was given the difficult task of designing and creating the event image... We asked ourselves how the workers Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo depicted in “The Fourth Estate� would look today. That is why, also to pay homage
to the famous painter, the smiling Lego mini-figures replace the bearded day labourers. An ironic manifesto, a slightly provocative one which also puts in the foreground the three professional categories that represent Tuscany driving force: manufacturing (blue-collar minifigure), research (mini-figure with the neck tie) and the female doctor on the right.

CamminAmare festival
27 title CamminAmare client “Ferrovie dello Stato� railway company main partner WWF target Regione Liguria year 2008
A 20 day journey along Liguria shores to divulge the environment status of the coast, and also to draw public opinion attention on the new projects for the coastal area. The journey was organised with starting, arriving and transit by rail stations, in order to encourage an active participation. Everybody followed Riccardo Carnovalini, a photographer and walker who walked the his-
torical CamminAmare in 1985 (4.000 kilometres on foot along the coast from Trieste to Ventimiglia). Danae succeeded in promoting the event through regional and national media which not only gave great importance to the project, but which also participated effectively to some stages, by sending journalists and reporters to follow Riccardo Carnovalini.

PrimaVera Vacanza Massa Carrara
43 title PrimaVera Vacanza client Apt Massa Carrara target Internazionale year 2010
It can never be easy to describe a territory in 30 seconds, especially a very heterogeneous one like Massa Carrara’s. To create the commercial we have used the castle as the common element the spectator can identify all along the video: from the sandcastle, to describe the coast, to the Fine Arts Academy castle, to describe Apuan Alps’ marble, to conclude on the walls of Lunigiana castle, to describe the inland.
The commercial is in German language and it was broadcast on German channels. NOTES: the video has been awarded during the 6th edition of “Premio La PA che si vede – La Tv che parla con te (PA you can see award – TV that talks to you)”, an award promoted by the Ministry of Public Administration and Innovation and by the Italian Journalist Association.

For this historical company which has operated in marble quarrying and working since 1973, we have conceived an elegant and handy portable display dedicated to Breccia Capraia: a very noble marble known since Italian Renaissance. It has been used in some of the most important and ancient Italian palaces, and today the Breccia Capraia is
offered and used by the most famous operant architects and interior designers. The stone box was conceived and created to emphasize the product’s elegance. It houses the product and, at the same time, makes its transport safe and easy.

Two tunnels, formerly part of a bypass road, have been converted in a permanent exhibition centre. A place once destined to vehicle transit it is now assigned to host artistic installations. We are in Piedicastello, in province of Trento. There the artistic project
“PROSSIMITÀ – Strategie artistiche in spazi urbani (PROXIMITY – Artistic Strategies for Urban Spaces)”, designed and curated by the Cafè Culture collective, was launched in 2010. For that occasion, we proposed one multimedia video installation and one georeferenced online survey.

Con-vivere festival
59 title Con-vivere Festival client Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Carrara target National year 2009/2010 2011/2012
Maybe it is because the scientific director of Con-vivere festival is Remo Bodei, and because it has welcomed important guests and lectures, such as: Beppe Severgnini, Pier Francesco Guarguaglini, Mario Calabresi, Lucio Caracciolo, Sergio Romano, Corrado Augias, Carlo Verdone, Massimo d’Alema... Probably it was because of those
names and many others, but we like to think that if Repubblica, Espresso, Corriere della Sera, il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa, Il Riformista, Libero, Avvenire QN and many others were interested in Convivere festival, we can take little credit for it.

Which is the best way to describe Lunatica Festival? Simply by describing the territory where the fifteen scheduled events take place. So, here they are three TV Carosello style adverts, set in three different locations and which describe the province of Massa Carrara: marble quar-
ries, sea and castles. It is its 15th edition, and Lunatica Festival has now become a stable event in Tuscany event schedule. The last editions hosted artists such as: Gianna Nannini, Vinicio Capossela, Dario Vergassola, Mario Biondi, Nada, Paolo Rossi, Ascanio Celestini, La Fura dels Baus.

For this 4 star hotel we produced nine video commercials to describe the main services and strengths of this important accommodation facility. Following the soft wing flapping of a butterfly, skilfully created through computer graphics, we moved across all the hotel spaces: from the breakfast hall to the rooms, from the meeting hall to the reception room...and so on.
Through the 9 commercials of 30 seconds each we promoted hotel services on the most famous social networks and social media.

Pisa Airport Ryanair Tripadvisor
Aeroporto di Pisa We signed a collaboration with Pisa Airport to create the free magazine ABFLY. The quarterly magazine circulation is 30 thousand copies, and it is completely designed and created by Danae. ABFLY, a magazine which describes destinations that can be reached from Pisa. It is distributed within the airport through 6 dispensers placed in six different strategic points: departures, checkin, VIP room, panoramic room and car rental area. Ryanair The Low Cost leading company landed in Carrara last September, thanks to a partnership promoted and managed by Danae. During 2010 Con-vivere Festival edition, the air-line gave for free dozens of vouchers for flying towards the European capitals. People who attended its stand event had the chance to win them in a funny contest created in collaboration with Danae. Tripadvisor Thanks to its over 35 million reviews and 29 million visitors per month, TripAdvisor claims to be “the biggest website on trips”. And it is with the giant of online tourism that Danae signed a partnership in 2011, to promote ABFLY, the free magazine of Pisa Airport.

Intoscana.it Giunti Amnesty International Telethon
intoscana.it Together with the editorial staff of intoscana.it, the tourism portal of Regione Toscana, we put an effort to develop an inter-medium agreement. Starting from May, travellers using Pisa Airport may benefit from an interesting new editorial feature. ABFLY quarterly magazine will publish special articles signed by intoscana.it editorial staff. They will be equipped with a Qrcode that will give readers the chance of exploring follow-up pages of intoscana.it and www.turismo.intoscana.it, the website of regional tourism. Giunti To strengthen the communication aspect of 2012 Convivere edition, for which Danae was in charge of the press office, we signed a partnership with Giunti publishing. The collaboration included the distribution of the festival programme in bookshops and Giunti stores in exchange of displaying the publishing house logo in every festival communication instrument. Amnesty International In our advising work in the communication field, we need to make the promotion of our clients’ socially-oriented messages and the support to important Non-profit subjects meet. In 2009 edition of Festival Lunatica, for whose press office and promotion we were responsible, the partnership with Amnesty International and its campaign “Demand Dignity” were developed thanks to our help. Telethon The CamminAmare 2009 edition, which led to a walk of 802 Km along the coast of Tuscany and Lazio, saw Danae involved in the activities of organisation and print office. Among the many partnerships there were Telethon, and its “Telethon Mission” scientific research was supported by CamminAmare. CamminAmare is an event for the safeguard of the environment and it started in 2008 thanks to the sponsorship of Ferrovie dello Stato.
