This year’s G8 summit was featured by an important event many times said in the world mass media. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who hosted the summit in L’Aquila, holily presented the heads of states calligraphy made national anthems. President Dmitry Medvedev was given the Russian national anthem written by hand and beautifully illuminated.
We are proud to say the Contemporary museum of calligraphy and the National Union of Calligraphers took an active part in this large-scale project. Bounded by the contract with Italian officials we couldn’t disclose this pleasant information earlier.
The only calligraphy museum in Russia, we were asked by a famous Marilena Ferrari-FMR publishing house to perform the Russian national anthem. This doubled importance, inasmuch as that Marilena Ferrari makes exclusive art pieces on a national wide level.
Knowing our good reputation in the calligraphy world the Italians scrupulously studied our website and chose the master – it appeared to be a well-known professor of calligraphy Evgeny Drobyazin.
We completed our work in the shortest possible time and sent it to Rome for Marilena Ferrari-FMR. Mr. Drobayzin’s calligraphy was further illuminated by a world-renown calligrapher Barbara Calzolari. On July 8th the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi presented the masterpiece to President Dmitry Medvedev.
A copy of Mr. Drobyazin’s creation will be available at the II International exhibition of calligraphy from October 14th to November 14th, 2009 in Moscow.
