Alessandra Baldereschi’s series of blown glass for the ‘Poets collection’, promoted by Fabrica and produced by Massimo Lunardon, the master of “transparent lightness”, represents the classical ingredients of a fairy tale: the forest, a lunch sack, and the little birds that steal breadcrumbs from Little Thumbling. Again, in this recent project, the artist has used a naif narrative to make her creations poetic. Alessandra, almost underlining her “fairy tale” disposition, quoted Italo calvino’s definition of fairy tales as, “Taken all together, in their oft-repeated and constantly varying examination of human vicissitudes, a general explanation of life preserved in the slow ripening of rustic consciences” Italian Folktales, Introduction, vol. 1, Mondadori, 2003)
