HISTORY The bridge of Bellaria was built in the mid-nineteenth century (during the Bourbon epoch), to allow the extension of the Napoleonic road with the old house of Miano, and to connect it with the village of Capodimonte. The location was convenient and close to this was opened Porta Miano to enter inside the wildest side of the park of Capodimonte.
NOWADAYS Today Bellaria (so named because of the coolness from the nearby Bosco) unfortunately is a simple devastated and lonely road, only traveled by buses and cars. However, expecially during the summer, the road lives thanks to people that go there to have some cooling and to spend their free time eating some snacks taken from trucks and buying some stuff from street shops.

The designer, according to Mari, you would not have had to limit the creation of beautiful objects and pleasant shapes: the functional aspect was essential "Chair 1 is established in 1974, it is part of the series" Autoprogettazione. "It was a revolutionary idea at the time: to market the products by giving special emphasis to their assembly performed by the customer himself.
