Silhouette: What does the style of lightness mean to you?

Angelica Montalbano won the award for the initiative the company began almost a year ago "Try to describe your vision of lightness" was the title of the initiative that Silhouette began almost a year ago. After wearing the ultralight rimless Titan Minimal Art-The Icon, the symbol of the Austrian company's vision, numerous people wrote their thoughts on the special postcards that were distributed throughout Italy and were available at the many optical stores taking part in the initiative.   The prize for the winning phrase? A day In Milan dedicated to lightness 'seasoned' with precise, customized style advice by experts from the Academia BSI di Diego Dalla Palma, Milan. For the host optician, a trip to the magical central-European city of Vienna, with a tour of Silhouette's manufacturing facilities at Linz.   Out of all the phrases that arrived from every corner of Italy, the prize went to Angelica Montalbano from Sicily. At her favorite store, Ottico Giuseppe Paglia of Calascibetta, she and her father wrote a poetic interpretation of lightness: "Tempo senza ore, tempo senza fretta, tempo svuotato: tempo pieno. Tempo riconquistato e ricco, tempo fuori dal tempo" (Time without hours, time without hurry, time emptied, time filled. Time reacquired and rich, time out of time")   A magnificent vision that struck the entire jury and that she herself said: "expressed an idea of lightness that is decidedly distant, even contrary to its meaning of superficiality. This conception of lightness is a style of life, a way of facing life without restrictions and conventions but by allowing a personal vision of life and perhaps even individuality to emerge. And this vision is certainly not contradicted by Angelica's gentle personality of Sicilian contrasts. An attorney by profession and fitness boxing enthusiast from Calascibetta, a small town in the province of Enna, she came to Milan with her father, the other winner of a day dedicated to lightness, so we had a chance to find out more about her. For example, she loves writing more than talking, she likes listening to others and spending time with friends and family. The color of her land gives her a personal vision of the style of lightness; it is a land of contrasts, where light is nature, the story and passionate nature of the inhabitants, whereas darkness is a feeling of discomfort, the inability to believe in one's potential. A complex land that Angelica associates with her eyeglasses that are strictly tailor-made in accordance with the exclusive rules of Silhouette's philosophy of customization, when she declares "Sicily and my eyeglasses appear to be simple but in effect they are very complex and this is why they are extremely characterizing. You need a pinch of courage and character to experience them."   When asked "what she expected from today's consultancy?" Angelica answered without hesitation "Nothing...it is an opportunity, it happened by chance so everything that occurs will be positive."   This was the way it was for the winner who was guided by the Silhouette style consultant (Angelica Pagnelli, a nice case of homonymy!), the expert who confirmed everything she does totally instinctively. She also demonstrated her confidence and determination when she stated her desire to the consultants of guru Diego Dalla Palma, Silhouette ambassador for lightness. With calm diplomacy she said "I would like you to explain what you will do to me rather than just do it so that in the future I will know how to enhance my personality."   A day dedicated to style aimed at enhancing Angelica's individuality and personality at all times of the day. With her phrase she has become the ambassador for Silhouette lightness.
