This last element is inextricably linked to the quality and experience of the brand in the world, which Seliger has interpreted by including a Lavazza espresso in every shot.<br /><br />The press and poster campaign will cover 16 countries.<br /><br />As in Lavazza’s previous international campaigns, the 2011 campaign will allow the public to enjoy pictures with great artistic value. They are a kind of open-­‐air art exhibition that describe the glamorous, seductive world of Lavazza coffee.<br /><br />The visuals will be enhanced by the pay-­‐off, The Real Italian Espresso Experience, which underlines not only the Lavazza tradition and its sense of belonging, but also its drive towards innovation and internationality, revealed by the attention focused on the espresso "ritual” of which Lavazza is the standard-­‐bearer.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvTOvI6RKkWfXquYtZMgUIMp6BW3d9mQVSGPZ5fuWeefFblBy0Y98H8JzHvnbYmegXf3qoWRJsyF1VxF7CB6DxxsL1TQbzpra1ovyRsUAphJ08oJmXeUmaMJFG6QGL1QMCSjwO3_G2uUY/s1600/Picture+18.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536556515425026098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvTOvI6RKkWfXquYtZMgUIMp6BW3d9mQVSGPZ5fuWeefFblBy0Y98H8JzHvnbYmegXf3qoWRJsyF1VxF7CB6DxxsL1TQbzpra1ovyRsUAphJ08oJmXeUmaMJFG6QGL1QMCSjwO3_G2uUY/s400/Picture+18.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 521px; height: 346px;" /></a><br />Full Credits:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Photographer:</span> Mark Seliger<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Creative Project: </span> Armando Testa<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Executive Creative Director:</span> Michele Mariani<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Creative Director:</span> Andrea Lantelme<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Vice Creative Director: </span> Michele Pieri<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Production:</span> Federico Levizzani, The Box Films<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Set Designer:</span> Kristen Vallow<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stylist: </span>Alice Gentilucci<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hair Stylist:</span> Rudi Lewis<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Make-­‐up Artist: </span>Lucia Pica<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Photographer’s Assistant:</span> Patrick Randak<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Post Production:</span> Alexandro Martinengo, Mark Seliger Studio<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Special Guests:</span> Olivia Wilde & Tao Ruspoli (Capri)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Models:</span><br />Bill Gentle (Cupid)<br />Monica Castillo & Enrique Palacios (Naples)<br />Noot Seear & Cedric Bihr (Verona -­‐ Romeo and Juliet)<br />Liliana Dominguez & Alessandro Giallocosta (Tuscany)<br />Violet Budd & Enrique Palacios (Venice)<br />Jeisa Chiminazzo & Ivan Olita (Florence – Italian garden)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Special thanks to</span>: Ballantyne, Luisa Beccaria, Blumarine, Brioni, Etro, Gianfranco Ferrè, La Perla, Ermanno Scervino, Giuseppe Zanotti<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jewels</span> : Leo Pizzo<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Event Planning and realisation</span> by Promoconvention<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Press Office</span> Edelman

When the drool-worthy calendar by <a href="http://www.lavazza.com/">Lavazza</a> is released.<br /><br />For the past 18 years, the annually produced calendar has been unavailable to the public and created with the talented firm <a href="http://www.armandotesta.com/">Armando Testa</a> for Lavazza's clients. Legendary photographers ranging from Albert Watson to Annie Leibovitz have had the honor of shooting the piece and more and more the yearly release is eagerly anticipated. Every year the calendar gets much deserved favorable and flattering press coverage along with other coveted and exclusive, and coincidentally Italian, calendars like Pirelli's or Campari's. And like the past two years, I have the entire calendar, behind the scenes shots and a making of video for you.<br /><br />This year's calendar is yet another visual spectacle. Shot by photographer <a href="http://www.milesaldridge.com/">Miles Aldridge</a> in a "Futuretrò" style, this years' them is the universal languages of Music and Photography.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTS9DxTEa2k1Bw6_AY3PulD33VTfklfYX7IudYR72fYXWcPJEK3zZwLYUYsZolbgThmDRvzb2oLG7IQu8DmMZXOuewkyMi3ofHSShYfnrJAgTRA3kxgkMOBrJa4Tt7hKknZlYJTxqdURnA/s1600-h/Picture+35.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395217897273751394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTS9DxTEa2k1Bw6_AY3PulD33VTfklfYX7IudYR72fYXWcPJEK3zZwLYUYsZolbgThmDRvzb2oLG7IQu8DmMZXOuewkyMi3ofHSShYfnrJAgTRA3kxgkMOBrJa4Tt7hKknZlYJTxqdURnA/s400/Picture+35.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 355px;" /></a><br /><br />British photographer Miles Aldridge was given the task of visually interpreting six of the ultimate Italian classics: Va' Pensiero, Guarda Che Luna, 'O Sole Mio, Con Te Partirò, Baciami Piccina and Nessun Dorma.<br /><br />Now don't just gloss over the music and admire these beautiful photos. The classic Italian pieces of music are moving and inspiring. If you're not familiar with them, look them up and have a listen. You even have the opportunity on Lavazza's site to download an mp3 version of the tear-provoking classic Nessun Dorma by Antony and the Johnsons (in conjunction with Sony Music) <a href="http://www.lavazza2010.com/en/antony">here</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lavazza2010.com/en/antony" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395224495247823250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMCeSzZXfMtjQqDTpZPvhnQyuRiLzdpS7RPJbRNSVsjkmSo_Dr_C7G5z8wmpCxrBj1fuPjYCR5_FgP8CMy9-L1DdvPCxnnDHwAEDDTDQduHrwFoU7cPi-uz0bgdfIROWi12bG5GJpRIoU/s400/Picture+40.png" style="cursor: pointer;

Miles Aldridge talking on set, at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, about the Lavazza Calendar. "Through the music, melodies and arias I glimpsed stories that told bittersweet tales, dramas, rebirths. I was reminded of characters and stories from films like La Strada and La Dolce Vita".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfzJIaE6tVfHsmYcddUzKBBFuapw_0mSmmJEPrMcEACllmawQXpeTtlLMO2451c7AuZSh6b8GfskdtsvJ_ZqVkhBDSFwhZCdFPz0vi08qvTBZGHB-wtXlov5PaEtwz5co8Efc_zZm4Xi4j/s1600-h/Picture+29.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395221471039467922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfzJIaE6tVfHsmYcddUzKBBFuapw_0mSmmJEPrMcEACllmawQXpeTtlLMO2451c7AuZSh6b8GfskdtsvJ_ZqVkhBDSFwhZCdFPz0vi08qvTBZGHB-wtXlov5PaEtwz5co8Efc_zZm4Xi4j/s400/Picture+29.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 357px;" /></a><br /><br />Even the six Calendar models are strong-willed heroines. "I didn't just want six beautiful girls. I wanted six women who could prove they were larger than life".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ0MMDSCBYcmby1Bpcq40LqZreklkqLiPLa06vYVcxb3xZX37H6bj34hwyTtUKrQEzph9FNFZRbXSLzE8DiqHayJp9Wi0E2gI_YBV2HBZLAMzeYA6B4sYQ24pl2v5TfyzuSD8KmMaLYZi9/s1600-h/Picture+16.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395216637338613314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ0MMDSCBYcmby1Bpcq40LqZreklkqLiPLa06vYVcxb3xZX37H6bj34hwyTtUKrQEzph9FNFZRbXSLzE8DiqHayJp9Wi0E2gI_YBV2HBZLAMzeYA6B4sYQ24pl2v5TfyzuSD8KmMaLYZi9/s400/Picture+16.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 352px;" /></a><br /><br />The life of Aldridge (married with four children and living in London) is all about light and colour. "I can draw inspiration from anything: a bright red garage in Soho, a woman wearing a green coat crossing the street. The fabulous orange in pictures by Francis Bacon or a palette of colours put together by the Wizard of Oz".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7hCS6O5tTu7QZ4Qgp0WfOlJnrzgwb_29ilh1MJeweM_5F4DETa5RnTul7MUis8-zhg8I9_y-CemhNtAr-m13ptaHcFGzNSPNByTkUOWRBMGNQ4xaRi8f8PwuK__7Ya23_hOHcQ_LDYcO/s1600-h/Picture+8.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395217655618711394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7hCS6O5tTu7QZ4Qgp0WfOlJnrzgwb_29ilh1MJeweM_5F4DETa5RnTul7MUis8-zhg8I9_y-CemhNtAr-m13ptaHcFGzNSPNByTkUOWRBMGNQ4xaRi8f8PwuK__7Ya23_hOHcQ_LDYcO/s400/Picture+8.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 353px;" /></a><br /><br />Aldridge prefers artificial shades: phosphorescent yellow, bubblegum pink, the bright green of imitation grass, and deep blue - not sky-blue or the marine blue found in wall frescoes, but the unidentifiable blue of an air hostess's uniform, or the blue of Italy's national football team. He also draws great inspiration from early colour films: "I love the way that Technicolor has always broken everything down into areas of pure colour, giving the shadows a brilliant shade of blue".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIHxMT5vq6cE4RVH2AbRtaf8r2pu5_5_Qj8V5KHrAtnsgn_SRsieOibie6643kRb9jG96b_vWs6gEPCD7-kTeZvGiu9biaGUfjF0ra1g-XS-Os7X9H5toJfszPxyDut63G7jMzedSPozI/s1600-h/Picture+14.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395216182603199890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIHxMT5vq6cE4RVH2AbRtaf8r2pu5_5_Qj8V5KHrAtnsgn_SRsieOibie6643kRb9jG96b_vWs6gEPCD7-kTeZvGiu9biaGUfjF0ra1g-XS-Os7X9H5toJfszPxyDut63G7jMzedSPozI/s400/Picture+14.png" style="cursor: pointer;

Many of them are the lovely artful letter pressed and silk screened calendars made by talented artists available on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">etsy</a>. In addition to those, individual artists and photographers sell their own calendars on 'make your own' sites like <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/">Zazzle</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/">Cafe Press</a> and Australia's <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/">Red Bubble</a>, many worth checking out.<br /><br />The 15 calendars I've chosen to share with you today are all either beautifully shot, designed, illustrated and/or produced. Most are available for sale, but some were produced by companies only for their clients and large account holders, like the well-known and highly coveted Lavazza and Pirelli calendars.<br /><br />In any case, they are all worth looking at.

The 56 plates of the new Cal are a rich collage of images, quotations, observations by the artist on the environment, climate change and global warming, overpopulation and the depletion of natural resources. "<em>My real concern</em>", says the photographer "<em>is the destruction of nature on a global scale. We've totally lost track of what evolution is based on, and how important diversity is in nature.
