La Dama degli Uffizi / The Lady of the Uffizi (in Italian 'Dama' means both: Lady and checkers game)

It's a travel version of the checkers or draughts game composed of a printed card chessboard plus 24 two-tone card pieces. The folding board reproduces a detail of the flowery meadow from Botticelli's celebrated "Primavera" (1477-82, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence), computer processed to achieve the appropriate alternation of dark and pale squares. The game's pieces are obtained by raising the "leaves" of the 2-dimensional four-leaf clover-shaped cards so as to have 12 dark and 12 light artificial flowers.

Designed in collaboration with Samantha Acciuffi for the exhibition: "Musei di Carta, 20 designers for 20 italian museums" promoted by Aliantedizioni (Superstudio, Milan, April 2012 / Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia, Rome, Feb./Mar. 2013).
