BodyType D, 2020

58x41cm

Through the use of the human body, the geometry of the letter is humanized and interpreted. The letter D represents the tension of the gesture that resembles a bow. The media mix is made up of three elements: photography, the graphic sign, the pictorial gesture.

Lorenzo Marini lives and works in Milan, Los Angeles and New York. After his artistic studies and a degree in Architecture in Venice, in 1997 he founded Lorenzo Marini & Associati, an advertising agency with offices in Milan and New York. Over the course of his career as an art director he has been awarded over 500 national and international awards. In 2016 Marini was inspired to celebrate the beauty of letters.

In 2020 he won the Mobius Awards in Los Angeles, an international competition award for the new Futurtype alphabet he created. In 2021 his anthology in Siena "Di Segni e Di Sogni" was the most visited contemporary art exhibition of the year, reaching 50,000 visitors.

The Cause

The Benedetta D'Intino Center was founded in 1994 from the dream of Cristina Mondadori in memory of her granddaughter Benedetta, who passed away prematurely. Thanks to a multidisciplinary team made up of 20 professionals, every year it assists more than 300 children and young people with severe communication disabilities and psychological distress together with their families.

The Center operates through two sectors of clinical intervention: Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC), which deals with children with complex communication needs and which also includes a specific communication program for autism, and Psychotherapy, which follows children and families who need psychological support to deal with trauma or uncomfortable situations.
