Introduction by Eleonora Cattaneo, Professor at SDA Bocconi

Notes:
– Many years ago in an old Boston bookshop I found an issue of LIFE that is really close to me. The title reflects the content of the introduction to the book Re-Brand by my friend Eleonora Cattaneo. The day I was born, 19.02.1971, the American magazine was coming out with a cover dedicated to Nostalgia…of the icons of the past.
– The cover artwork is a 1920s Gio Ponti’s drawing done for Richard Ginori.
