Interior architect and designer since the 1970s. A natural curiosity for in-

novation, material research and technology, profound observation of the

surrounding reality enabled her to design for prestigious companies, in

completely unrelated fields.The same traits are now the pivotal elements in

the work of the Talocci Design studio, which specialises in: product design,

exhibition design, interior design, event organisation, integrated commu-

nication, art direction. Giovanna Talocci has received numerous acknow-

ledgments, among them three ADI Design Index selections, four referrals

at the Compasso D’Oro award and four Design Plus prizes. Alongside her

design activities, she also works as cultural events curator and consultant

for various trade exhibitions, anchor woman and guest of television pro-

grammes on design, and lecturer at universities and design schools. She

ation of artistic works, setting up of temporary architectural works and in-

stallations, and interior furnishing and design. In 2002, he opened his studio
