Mais Amor Por Favor [More Love Please], (Ygor Marotta, 2009)
When we decided on the theme for this edition, this was the slogan that immediately echoed in my memory. Like a much-needed manifesto that reawakens us. Not because of its poetic nature, but rather because it stems from the intention to safeguard the good things that unite us. Given what the world is going through, in the midst of political differences and interests, love is urgently needed. In its most diverse forms, colours, gestures and flavours. To reinforce this message, the fresh breeze of the New Year arrives, accompanied by chilly January, which is always a watershed: an interim between what we've left behind us and what we still can't discern. With every New Year, we're filled with a sense of renewal, a territory where anything seems possible: a deep breath, an opening of doors, a fresh look at what motivates us. And that is why – in this first edition of 2026 – we have chosen to start with a theme that permeates, transforms and illuminates everything we do: LOVE.
