Cocoricò 1991–1992 edited by Jacopo Lega Amphibia with a selection of material from Ferruccio Belmonte's personal archive.

​

- Amphibia is an artistic platform that moves between night entertainment and visual research intersections. In addition to hosting local and international artists, it focuses on printed matter and solid aesthetics, in an attempt to understand and expand the charm of the cultural experience today.

 

- Ferruccio Belmonte is one of the most emblematic characters of Riviera and Northern Italy entertainment culture. Insatiable researcher of experiences, he began his career as the artistic director of Cocoricò from 1990 to 1993 and then continued to the Tenax in Florence, the Love Planet in Rimini and the Echoes of Misano Adriatico.

 

- Roberto Spallacci has been operating in the world of music and entertainment since 1980, with various roles and experiences. Among others, he founded the Latin Superb Posse with Lorenzo Betetto and Joe Costa in 1986 in Turin, and he is the co-founder, with Sergio Ricciardone and Giorgio Valletta, of Associazione Situazione Xplosiva and C2C Festival.

 

- Marsèll Paradise is a space where Marsèll's identity and communication codes meet. Conceived on two levels as a fluid space that hosts an extract from Marsèll collection and cultivates different projects. An independent place based on knowledge and free sharing of the contemporary. Generators of endless dialogue between disciplines and expressive forms such as art, photography, music and publishing.
