Gruppo dell'amicizia, Vicenza. This volunteering gruop was found in 1981 to help families
and difficult persons to find some joyfull moments and cares. In 2011 they celebrate the
30th anniversary of their activities. For them I designed an invitation card to the big celebrative party.
The front card presented an "30" outline, during their summer camp idiots and their tutors
decorated these cards to obtain 200 different invitation cards with authors' signatures.
In the october 2011, to celebrate the anniversary we also published a book.
The book is a collections of stories and anedcotes by people that have been part of the group
and its activities during these decades.

“The solution was to turn copyright rightside left: what had been an obstacle to free reproduction became the prime guarantee of it.”
Wu Ming 1, Copyleft Explained To Children Clearing Our Minds of Misunderstandings,
Il Mucchio selvaggio #526, 25 March 2003
Copyright and copyleft are situated in the center of several concentric circles. Situated in the middle of different subjects and interests: author’s rights, public’s rights, development of shared knowledge, economic market, publishers, distributors...
The user is invited to experience and be witness of a switch in prospective, towards a new way to consider the roles of author and reader. The reader, invited to discover the content of the big “C”, the copyright logo, flipping through some pages, finds out a new possible point of view. The end of his reading experience shows him a new physical situation: the two circles in the background now reveal the copyleft logo (the mirrored “C”).
The inner spreads describe this theorical and physical turnover. Each page contains an image inspired by a word of the quotation (turn, rightside, obstacle, free, prime, guarantee). These images are selected from Wikimedia Commons, they are all copyright free thanks to different right's situations. In this way, the reader could have a sample of some cases about author’s rights.
