ADRIANA SANTANOCITO

“Women and the environment” Award

She has allowed wonder to blossom from the earth's waste. Combining creativity and science, she creates, from peels and scraps, a new concept of matter that reveals a different way of inhabiting the world: sustainable, circular, and harmonious. Adriana Santanocito's work embodies the voice of an Italy that invents, regenerates, and respects. She has become a symbol of an ethical and intelligent beauty that is both research and elegance. From her love for her native Sicily, she has drawn inspiration to build a business model, and a model of female entrepreneurship, in which aesthetics and design coexist with respect for the environment. In which elegance and fashion become a collective responsibility towards life. In the vision of a not-too-distant future, in which nothing is wasted and everything is transformed. Her creations speak the language of the future. His inventiveness is a thoughtful gesture of care and concrete commitment, demonstrating how innovation can be a global caress and a promise kept to the planet.
