Unique vase decorated by Grazia La Padula.

Artwork created live on October 31, 2025, at Palazzo Guinigi in Lucca, during the Foodmetti event in collaboration with Alessi.

The vase, made of white ceramic, belongs to the historic collection designed by Alessandro Mendini for Alessi and was decorated with ceramic markers by Grazia La Padula — an illustrator and comics artist of recognized talent, winner of the Coco Award and the Toppi Award, and a lecturer at IED Rome.

In her work, La Padula combines narrative sensitivity with a refined line — qualities that are also evident in this unique decoration, created specifically for the occasion.
