Editorial The year 2012 is packed with exciting new developments for Lavazza and our customers. As always, we’ll start with the Calendar, this year released in a special edition to celebrate its 20th anniversary: 12 months in which each artist gives a personal interpretation of his or her relationship with coffee. There are more exciting new developments, with the launch of the new programme that has revolutionised Lavazza’s café menus: EspresSOunique, a collection of sophisticated recipes that open the doors to a new taste dimension. Four categories of products, an even more extensive range of mixes, and a brand-new visual concept with high-end point-of-sale furnishings and accessories. There are also lots of new developments in the world of machines, with the Canto series for large areas, and the two new LB 2500 and EP 2500 models for offices and small businesses. Finally, there’s an overview of the new visual identity for the retail range, and two new, high-tech food service machines — extra assets available to you to make the Lavazza quality known and appreciated around the world! Happy reading.

20 Years of the Lavazza Calendar: a Journey Worth Celebrating.
F
or 20 years Lavazza has been making unique calendars together with the masters of international photography. The 2012 edition, with the cover by Ellen von Unwerth and 12 shots by international photographers including Le Gouès, Aldridge,
Leibovitz and Watson, is a celebration of 20 years of success, and lines up alongside the previous editions on this journey into art and taste. Since 1993, the calendar pictures have interpreted the passion and quality of Lavazza. They have become collectors’ items and have appeared on billboards in some of the world’s most famous cities, transforming city centres into open-air museums.

The campaign “Lavazza con te partirò”, launched to celebrate the calendar’s 20th anniversary, has led to an exhibition held at the Milan Triennale in autumn 2011, a photographic monograph and a digital project. The common themes were travel and seduction, with the feminine form the driving force behind a voyage towards a parallel universe. Francesca Lavazza describes the project: “To mark this 20th anniversary, we called on Fabio Novembre whose dreamlike “pop” style created a journey into seduction, taste, pleasure and beauty accompanied by Vincenzo Cerami’s words and Milo Manara’s drawings. All this can only encourage us to keep going for the next 20 years.”
c o m m u n i c a t i o n s & p r o m o t i o n s
THE EXHIBITION The exhibition at the Milan Triennale accompanied visitors on an exploration of the Calendar’s 20-year history. It featured some of the most striking pictures, arranged in a creative new layout. Twenty years not conceived as an anniversary, but as the twentieth birthday of a girl born in 1992, inspired from Valerie, the young protagonist of Ellen von Unwerth’s most recent shots for Lavazza.
THE DIGITAL PROJECT The digital project combined graphic research with state-of-the-art digital technologies. On the website 20calendars.lavazza.com users have been able to take part in the photo scouting launched by Lavazza to mark the twentieth anniversary: an initiative that has met with great success. Among the more than 6000 images sent, a jury composed of Steve McCurry, Fabio Novembre and Francesca Lavazza selected three images to accompany those from the 20 Lavazza Calendars in the dedicated exhibition.

THE MONOGRAPH The photographic monograph is a volume suspended between art and publishing, which tells the story of these twenty years of Calendars, the 2012 edition and those yet to come. Valerie is the protagonist of our story, a dreamlike journey that occurs between the walls of her room the day before our protagonist turns twenty years old, ultimately to return in flesh and blood, the absolute master of her destiny. With the original drawings created by Milo Manara and the compelling narration of Vincenzo Cerami.
