The bright umbrella of peace
This umbrella, named "Bright Umbrella of Peace", was founded in September 2001 by the idea of Paolo Usai, who saw on TV the
two Presidentes of USA and Russia under an umbrella, interviewed by a
reporter after the terrible attack to the Twin Towers in New York. The
author thought to this original invention as a "Symbol of peace among
peoples": this is why the umbrella coverage reproduces all the flags of
the states of the world printed in the same measure and on the top it
has an enlightened ball with the word "Peace", lighted by a cold led,
which is fed by a battery placed in the handle of the article. This
invention was submitted to the Ministry of Industry in Rome on march
2002; the umbrella coverage must have a led for each flag. Each exemple
of the "Bright Umbrella of Peace" has a number of catalogue: the nr. 1
will be given to Pope Francis I, the nr. 2 will be in possession of the
author and the nr. 3 will be repeated for 197 times, for each State
represented by the flag and will be delivered to each respective
President. From nr. 4 it will be the possibility of purchase by everyone
who wants. All the owners of that umbrella, from nr. 1 to infinity,
will be recorded in a register.
