The value of 'Made in Italy' must necessarily be up-to-date. This is the philosophy that Italia Independent has embraced. We decided from the outset to do away with stereotypes and attune ourselves to the extreme pace, to the incessant metamorphoses of the globalized world.

Italian Businessman

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The mineral world is a much more supple and mobile world than could be imagined by the science of the ancients. Vaguely analogous to the metamorphoses of living creatures, there occurs in the most solid rocks, as we now know, perpetual transformation of a mineral species.

French Philosopher

Camille Paglia

American Author

Harold Rosenberg

Canadian Businessman

Tom Hardy

I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I'll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.

English Actor

Soren Kierkegaard

The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo; the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes.

Danish Philosopher

Tom Payne

There's years of growth and emotions in that hair. And it gets cut off and you're like, 'I'm really metamorphosing into something else. I'm emerging.

Jack Kemp

 I like things that are weird. I like weird things. Tell me about the "why" phase -- what does that do for us? What is the machete? What pupa stage are you in now? Why is it important to reboot? What does the red represent? Tell me a little bit about that part. A little more about you that is not who you are. What are some other metamorphoses that you've had?

 The eggs hatched and the young wasps devoured the caterpillar alive before bursting out of its body. See what I mean? Now, the caterpillar didn't die. Some of the wasps seemed to stay behind and controlled it into defending their siblings which are metamorphosing into adults within those cocoons.

 So, what happens when larvae do find a suitable coral reef? Do they risk it all in one jump from the water column, hoping to land in exactly the right spot to settle down and metamorphose into adults? Not exactly. Instead, larvae appear to have more of a bungee system.
