IL CATTIVELLO

As part of Case Chiuse by Paola Clerico #17 Alessandro Di Pietro designed
a chocolate candy for Maradeiboschi.
Il Cattivello designed by Alessandro Di Pietro is a white chocolate locket conceived as a Halloween Special for Maradeiboschi. In the tradition of American animated series, both mainstream and underground, the ‘Halloween Special’ episode is an annual ritual rooted in pop culture and festive spirit, which has been subjected to the European capitalist merchandising industry and passed down by generations of teenagers (and beyond) from the 1980s till today. Relating to the ‘MTV’-style visual legacy of some of the works displayed in the exhibition Essential-Confidential is a childlike scream of fright to be enjoyed while reminiscing, but without any nostalgia.

This new project reinforces the collaboration between Case Chiuse and Maradeiboschi with the goal of triggering synergies between haute chocolaterie and the “extra-ordinary”n vision of artists.
