The new #G20 logo project draws its inspiration from the famous "Vitruvian Man", a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, symbol of the Renaissance, Humanism and of Italy throughout the world. Each of the three characters, G, 2, and 0, represent typical shapes of Italian architecture and lettering. The "G" is inspired by the letters engraved in the base of the Trajan Column, the 2 is in a neoclassical font designed in 1798 by prominent engraver Gian Battista Bodoni, and the 0 is written as a perfect circle, showing the essence of rationalist thought and of the artistic avant-garde. #G20Italy

Today, we join our American friends in celebrating #MLK's legacy and #MLKDay2021. It is an important opportunity for all of us, in the US and across the globe, to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement’s contribution to democracy, freedom, and human rights.

Happy #MLKDay. Many of us know MLK gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But did you know the statue of President Lincoln in the memorial was made by Italians? The Piccirilli Brothers, renowned marble sculptors, created the statue in 1920.
