Courtyard, Agape Bosco

Courtyard, Agape Bosco

Giampaolo Benedini and Michele Lupi

Between 1991 and 1996, Giampaolo Benedini, co-founder of Agape, contributed to the development of the Bugatti EB110 and the Lotus Elise: two cars born of the same design philosophy that he applied, in parallel, to his projects for Agape.
Michele Lupi, a figure close to Agape and the Benedini brothers, came to the world of motoring via a similar path, one that never entirely strayed from his architectural studies. A journalist, he has edited, amongst others, Rolling Stone Italia and GQ Italia; in 2003, he published the book Racers, stories of men for whom speed is an obsession, a passion, a way of life.
In the courtyard at Bosco, Benedini and Lupi will exchange views, taking as their starting point two cars, viewed from different perspectives: that of the designer and that of the writer who chronicled their history. Booking required.

In the courtyard at Bosco, the two will exchange views, taking as their starting point two cars and two ways of telling their stories: one by the man who designed them and the other by the man who wrote their legend. Booking required.
