We have no idea how many miles Marco F. Picasso<\/a> has travelled as a journalist in search of original stories from entrepreneurs, but for once, we were the ones to rack them up, heading to his home region of Liguria for a \u201creverse interview.\u201d<\/h4>\n

CHIARA PRATI<\/a> and C. Daniela Binario have always wondered:\u00a0\u201cWhere does Picasso get all that energy?<\/em>\u201d
\nAlways on the move, visiting one printing company or another\u2026 The fatigue is real – very real – but it\u2019s lightened by the passion\u00a0 and \u00a0enthusiasm<\/a> that keep us going, even through long hours on the road.
\nSeptember 1999 marked a special moment in his career as a journalist: Labelexpo<\/a> in Chicago with the Gipea<\/a> group. That\u2019s where he met Pietro Prati<\/strong> and a very young Ciara Prati, beginning with them a tour through the exhibition stands. A journey within the journey.
\nPietro turned out to be an excellent mentor: he explained the machines patiently, sparking Marco\u2019s fascination with the complex world of \u00a0labels<\/a> – where printing skills aren\u2019t enough – and revealing the importance of \u00a0inspection<\/a> and embellishment<\/a>.
\nWriting became a necessity, a way to express what was perhaps his original calling. His curiosity, his eagerness to discover, even led him in recent months to visit the labels<\/a> museum in CupraMontana<\/a>!
\nHe once dreamed of being an explorer. Maybe that\u2019s why he graduated in geology: to see not only what lies beyond, but also what lies beneath. That idea of \u201cbeyond\u201d explains the \u201cmeta\u201d in the name of his magazine.<\/p>\n

Why are your articles so \u201cdifferent\u201d?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s not just because of Antonio Ghiorzo\u2019s imperative: \u201cArticles shouldn\u2019t be written with water, but with blood<\/em>.\u201d In Marco\u2019s view, people aren\u2019t always keen to read, but he has found that when they come across a technical article that reads almost like a story, they actually enjoy reading it.
\nIn his book\u00a0La Stampa \u00e8 Bella<\/strong>, Marco remembers various work experiences in the print and packaging industries. Often, what begins as a necessity becomes a virtue.
\nThe first company he worked for\u2014a family business\u2014closed in 1985.
\nChance, and perhaps his meticulous work ethic, led him to collaborate with Rassegna Grafica in 1990 and later take over Graphicus in 2002.
\nWhen the publisher shut down the company, Marco decided to found MetaPrintArt<\/strong><\/a>, the first online magazine in the sector, and the textile magazine MetaIn<\/em>Italy.eu<\/strong><\/a> with his daughter.<\/p>\n

The interview revealed so much beauty. Why keep it all to ourselves?
\nSo we decided to share both the text and a few short videos -well worth listening to- in the SOLARCONVERSATIONS<\/a> section of our website.<\/p>\n
