Bianca. When hospitality meets food.

What does luxury mean when it comes to hospitality? What role does food play in a 5-star hotel? Francesco Spreafico, owner of Bianca, and Michelin-starred chef Emanuele Petrosino give us their take.

Our first episode of Outlooks, a column dedicated to encounters with entrepreneurs and companies in discovery of new trends and business perspectives, takes us to the Michelin-starred kitchen of Bianca, a boutique hotel on Lake Annone near Lake Como, founded in 2019 by Francesco Spreafico.

Feeling at Home

Francesco opened the doors of Bianca and invited us into his world: a place where luxury is a simple concept and hospitality is a sought-after balance between a warm welcome, top-quality food, and sustainability.

We don’t produce the science. We design how people meet it.

For this year’s European State of the Climate (ESOTC) 2025 report, that meant turning a flagship climate publication into an accessible, digital‑first experience built to deepen understanding and turn climate data into real insight. 

Published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) at ECMWF, in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the ESOTC is a global reference on the state of our climate. With contributions from more than 100 scientists and experts, it sheds light on how our climate is changing, year after year, and what that means for policy, economies, people and the planet. 

For ESOTC 2025, Blossom designed the layout of the full report and the executive summary. We structured the web experience end to end – from the main landing page to thematic sections and the graphics gallery. And then we took it social, creating content to share across seven channels: chart animations, carousels, static assets and copy shaped around how people actually scroll, read and consume information. 

The result: climate evidence built to move, and to inform.

In just one month, ESOTC 2025 generated more than 7,100 media mentions, with an estimated reach of 13.3 billion across 112 countries, and report insights cited in Al Jazeera, the Financial Times, The New York Times and BBC World Service. Online, the main ESOTC 2025 page reached over 21,100 pageviews, while the social launch delivered more than 52,100 engagements and 38,300 clicks. 

There’s no doubt that climate data and communication go hand in hand. And when scientists, institutions and communication teams work as one, we bring the data – and the conversation – to the world. 

There’s never been just one recipe. It’s always been a blend. But today there are more ingredients than ever before.

AI platforms that sketch out itineraries in seconds. User‑generated videos that show the back streets, not the brochure. Trip‑matching tools that decode reels into routes.
Reviews that sway where we eat and stay.

Every swipe, click and comment is another splash in the glass.

The final itinerary? Pure mixology.

The best cocktail? The one that’s crafted to your taste.

Today, the question is less about where you want to go, and more: who are you, and how are you feeling right now?

Brain stuck in 47 open tabs? Ditch your digital, head to the woods and hug a tree. Break‑up blues got you down? Go for some fun vibes in a city that never sleeps.

Matching a destination to your state of mind takes just a few prompts. Pop your budget, departure city and interests into an AI travel platform and before you can say “holiday,” you’ll have a custom getaway at your fingertips.

Even hotels are upping their game. As bookings shift from “three nights in a double room” to “three nights exactly how my nervous system needs it,” they’re offering a menu of amenities to quench your particular taste: top‑floor retreat or bar‑floor buzz, desk or yoga mat, sleep kit or Xbox, minibar stocked with wellness drinks or local craft beer.

Concocting your ideal trip is easier than ever before, and like any good bartender, AI will remember just how you like it.

But here’s the thing. While there’s no doubt AI tools help us plan better, faster, the magic of travel is still human.

The cafè you stumble into. The travel agent who saves your week. The local guide who takes you off the beaten path. Those moments come from people, not systems.

The future of travel is not human vs AI. It’s human with AI.

Less time fighting logistics. More time being exactly where you want to be.

Cheers to that.

When we talk about fashion, the picture looks familiar: glossy runways, luxury collections, “sustainable” capsules. Shift the angle slightly, and a different reality comes into focus. That’s the choice Anna Fiscale made in 2013, in her twenties, when she founded Progetto Quid.

We are inside Quid’s production workshop in Verona. At a machine edging leather bags sits Bouchra, who arrived from Morocco with experience in fashion, none in leather goods, and no Italian. Here she has learned a new craft and built long-term relationships.
There is Giovanni, who at Quid has found what many look for: the chance to grow professionally without giving up his passions outside of work. And then there are faces, hands, smiles. Faces with complex stories. Hands moving confidently across the fabric. Smiles from people who, in that workshop, feel they truly belong.

What the system calls “waste” becomes a resource.

“Giving new life to people and fabrics” is not a slogan. It is how Quid operates.
Textile leftovers from other companies become high-quality raw material, available at lower cost. People pushed to the margins become trained professionals, with contracts and a horizon to work toward. The result is a supply chain that combines upcycling, design and ethically Made in Italy manufacturing – and, above all, a different idea of value: here, what the system discards is where everything starts.

Walking between the tall shelves of the fabric warehouse and the narrow aisles of the leather stockroom, it becomes clear that this is not just the story of a business model.
It is the story of a shift in perspective that changes everything it touches: the world of work, the fashion industry, and the lives of the people inside both.

Climate. Social media. AI. New generations. Crazy expectations. The landscape is shifting beneath our feet. Every innovation, every disruption, demands a reset.

But one thing never changes: the need to communicate.

From cave walls to cloud servers

Ancient hunters trading stories by firelight. History scratched into stone, painted on cave walls. Scribes inking wisdom onpapyrus. Ideas spread by mouth, messages passed by hand. From radio to television. Texts to the infinite digital world.

No matter the age or technology, communication is essential. Its survival. Human connection. Knowledge must move —or it’s lost. And so are we.

There’s a lot at stake.

Rising temperatures and melting glaciers. Catastrophic wildfires and devastating floods. Human-induced emissions that pollute the air we breathe. Issues affecting our climate and atmosphere aren’t just topics for specialists — they impact our daily lives, our health, and our collective future. Data-driven insight is key to empowerment. Awareness is the first step toward meaningful action.

The information is out there. And we all need to hear it.

So… what now?

Now we turn scientific evidence into real-world understanding. We transform data into stories. Build bridges between expertise and everyday reality.

Science isn’t just for scientists anymore. It’s for all of us. And we’re here to share the insight – with you.

See how Blossom and Copernicus are changing the conversation about our planet.

Milan, Via Tortona 9. It didn’t take long for Giacomo Frigerio, CEO and Founder of Blossom, to realize this was the right place. This is where we’ve moved, and this is where we invite you to join us in a new chapter of Transforming Perspectives. Watch now.

People say all sorts of things about Milan. That it’s grey and overcast, but also vibrant; international, but never enough; fast-paced, but familiar. Hard to pin down—much like those who can’t sit still and have change in their DNA. That’s Milan. Nowhere is this more true than in Tortona. 

Tortona is a fracture that refuses to heal, where fragments of the past remain embedded in the framework of the present. Once, there were factories, workshops, workers’ homes, and the Porta Genova railway as its backbone. Today, warehouses have become ateliers, old glassworks are now creative hubs, courtyards double as exhibition spaces. There are long-standing shops and concept stores, young designers and the carpenter methodically sanding his furniture, legacy fashion houses and the hardware store owner who’s always been here—each with their own perspective on the neighborhood. There’s a persistent sense of restlessness in the air. 

Blossom couldn’t have chosen anywhere else. Via Tortona 9, in a building that has kept its foundations but transformed many times over. It isn’t just an office; it’s a hub for transformation. Here, people are free to challenge themselves and each other, continually encouraged to reframe their outlook. Anything can happen: team brainstorms, the creation of new tools to rethink communication, unforgettable events and dinners. Giacomo Frigerio saw immediately that this was the right place for Blossom. Together with architects Michele Bellinzona and Alberto Fraterrigo-Garofalo, who oversaw its renovation, he leads us here—into the heart of Tortona. Where transformation happens.
