Diversity shouldn’t scare us! Regardless of the presence of elements that differentiate us from one another and that may appear limiting, each person needs to be welcomed and included, to feel like he belongs to a group of people, to a society that allows him to fully enjoy all rights and opportunities that this membership entails. If each of us is given the opportunity tofifind our own place in mutual respect for the community, this fact is profitable for everyone, in fact together, each with our own differences, we are morecomplete, better, we become an entity: “E pluribus unum”.

LibriBianchi are sculptures created using real books destined for disposal, giving them a new life. Covered in white, each book becomes an icon of all books, telling stories, emotions, and feelings. It may seem like a mute sculpture, but it is not; it silently screams to be read—not with the eyes, but with the heart, as the Little Prince says.
