At the Labirinto della Masone in Fontanellato, "EPHEMERA il bel bazar," the new thematic multi-brand store that houses some examples of contemporary design and craftsmanship, following Franco Maria Ricci's idea that the Labirinto would also offer refined souvenirs, was opened.

At the Labirinto della Masone in Fontanellato, famous for being a place of reference for lovers of the beautiful and the curious in all its forms, “EPHEMERA il bel bazar,” the new thematic multi-brand store that houses some examples of contemporary design and craftsmanship, has opened. When Franco Maria Ricci presented the Labyrinth at its opening in 2015, he announced that the bookshop would also offer “refined souvenirs related to the themes of bamboo, botany, art, bibliophilia, home, graphics and design.” With EPHEMERA, the “citadel of the Labyrinth” expands, and in the Entrance Court visitors can now find a new stop during their visit, a special store where they can discover curiosities of all kinds, all characterized by the same distinctive and refined style that distinguishes the place.
