The Norwegian name for Iceland is 'The Land of Ice'. The images of the country which usually spring to mind are devoid of colour: snow white and black lava rock.

During the short polar spring, however, green colours dominate the extensive landscape like nowhere else on earth.

The natural world here undergoes a constant process of renewal. When snow melts, pure water pours down breathtaking waterfalls onto rich fertile land, allowing low-lying vegetation to thrive from the endless plains to the most inaccessible fjords.

Giorgio's search for a green for his COLORI dell' ANIMA finally came up trumps in Iceland.

A search which will soon be complete and which is bound to once again enrich the lives of those of us eagerly waiting for the launch of the Colori dell'Anima.
