Does graphic art have a sense in times of crisis?

Graphic art can be a tool for channelling a statement, to sensitize and propose new solutions, to transmit ideas, sensations and opinions.Felicity aims at providing a contribution to reflection beginning from an anthropological vision and arriving at modern times, in the expectation of a future where the city can be a better place for self-improvement.

How can a city grow qualitatively?

More and more, other professional figures are capable of administering the image of the city through a deeper and more articulated approach.The link between graphic art and the city is even richer, allowing to interpret the urban context as a grand score of notational signs, many of them being administered and generated by graphic art.
