#The #character. I will write about her. #I will #write about Evi Pattitoni, an all-round #artist! I will write about her “cursed” passion for art, for music. For her creative, handcrafted etiquette. For her personal tastes of being. And for her passion for Music, with a capital M. Always, for singing. Which she embodies in a “different”, sublime, shared, participatory way. The Music that flows through her veins, first of all. Before arriving in Rome, the Eternal City. A city of a thousand resources. Where her way of being an artist is definitively revealed. And it is from a very young age (only 15 years old), together with her sister Fulvia, with whom they manage to set in motion their desires as singing women. In appearing on the musical stage of #Nuxis (#Campidano) together with the #Bertas, already in vogue for some time. The “fatal” meeting was facilitated by her uncle Antonio Inzaina, the theater impresario, older brother of Vittorio Inzaina, winner (by the way) of the Castrocaro singing festival. Not only that: the two sisters, Evi and Fulvia, were the vocal trailblazers for Pino d’Olbia in all his concerts around the world. And it was then that Evi Pattitoni’s surname was mangled. A failed Pirina, with enormous feet, like that gentle giant, whose name now escapes me. Thus, Pattitoni the singer was born. And she “died”, musically speaking, twelve years ago, in a combo with “I Colors” of the saxophonist Tony Marino. Before savoring the artistic idea linked to the clothes and jewels created in her image and likeness. An infinite passion that, lately, led her to emigrate to the continental peninsula of Italy. Where the doors of #Paradise opened to her, in every sense. In every place, in every lake. Including seas. The “Rebus Amoris” exhibition in #Rome definitively projects Elvira A. Pattitoni into the world of art that counts. With her precious stones, legacies of a Sardinian past that resists the passing of time inexorably. She finds her spaces in Rome, the #Gulliver of #Telti, in a prestigious art exhibition. With her creations, in line with the new times. Whatever they are: starting with jewels and ending with clothes, passing through perfumes. And so on (sic!). The designer Evi Pattitoni, who sacrifices herself in the presence of #Roberto #Lucifero, an internationally renowned #anthropologist who makes people talk about him mostly good, not bad. The aforementioned exhibition opened on the #25th of #October just passed. And it will keep its doors open to the public present for a whole year. Good luck, Evi. You deserve everything you desire from life, for sure.

MOM D’istinto It is really very intriguing and interesting as a fragrance. I am the one who thanks Evi Pattitoni for having created it. My duty: those who are worthy must be supported and promoted. Sic et simpliciter.
Vanna Sanciu
Evi, you have always been and are a Great.
Only those who have had, like me, the pleasure of knowing you, have been able to appreciate your commitment to society.
You must continue, because you must not stop!
Antonio Satta
This time too your new creations seem really beautiful to me. As always! When artistic talent merges with the sensitivity of the heart and the attitude to beauty, the miracle happens.
GianPiero Scanu
As I write, dear Evi, I imagine you as one of the Janas of our Sardinia.
Legend has it that these industrious and wise fairies who practice different arts love red. In fact, I am enveloped in the perfume you have just created and I wear one of your MOM jewels around my neck. Even the cream that nourishes my skin, making it more beautiful every day, is your work.
You know how to design clothes and jewelry, you know how to sculpt, paint, sing and you know the secrets of herbs, flowers and essences.
You have the gift of listening and an extraordinary sensitivity; you are creative and operative, sweet and tenacious, wise and generous, wonderful daughter of Sardinia.
Marella Giovannelli
Central Gallura finds its privileged terrace towards the eastern sea in an enchanted territory rich in traditions and fine vineyards in the municipality of Telti.
A hilly part of Gallura that slopes towards Olbia with slopes covered with vineyards and thick cork oak forests.
Evi was born and raised in that portion of the territory before traveling the roads of new knowledge in the centers where the culture, especially musical, of the new generations of the final years of the last century was developing.
It must be recognized that she has a natural propensity for music. She has practiced it with skill and passion since her early youth.
From this she has been guided as on a musical scale, in the subsequent evolution of her art in a more complete realization, taking over the scene with her creations, from clothes to jewelry.
Everything follows an agreement like a set of linked notes, inspired by the great Mediterranean Mother. That Mother Goddess who found her maximum figurative expression in Sardinia.
Each note is in itself an individual element but also a part of a score that Evi fills with her works that are always in continuous evolution.
The note of a perfume, of a fabric she works, of a jewel created, of a song she sings, everything recalls a story and a land, her land, full of stories to tell and to relive with an ancient symbolism that is proposed to us in a modern key.
The cultural archetype, that is the idea that underlies Evi’s creations, is the re-proposal of the eternal models of things.
A primordial image that is part, or more precisely is contained, in the collective unconscious and that is brought to the surface by the research and meticulous reconstruction that she makes of it with her art in all the expressive forms she adopts.
A representative function that leads us towards a form of perception of reality that is proposed to us through expressive forms of various nature and in whose exposition the alchemist who etherizes them with his fragrances is never missing.
And it is from these fragrances that a line dedicated to cosmetics designed by her is now born.
Evi is tied to her land and it shows. We are made of matter that, as such, emanates energy that it receives from everything that surrounds us and that it transmits in a continuous cycle in a perennial process. Evi’s work develops in that environment rich in ancestral memories, and her fervent and unstoppable imagination is fueled by it, and this aspect is what stands out with great evidence when you find yourself in front of her creations.
What more can we add about her work? Perhaps an invitation to go and visit her in Telti, where in her home-workshop in a village context of great charm, almost under the bell tower of the granite church of Santa Vittoria, she welcomes her guests with grace and courtesy. He will open the doors of his dream world linked to the past and maybe even offer you a glass of excellent Vermentino produced a stone’s throw from his home.
Pierangelo Sanna
There is order and harmony in the artistic productions of Elvira Angela Pattitoni, known as Evi, in the Jewels as in the Dresses and in her voice as a musical interpreter. As an artist, her creations show themselves not only as works of artisan skill, but rather as the result of her personal creative research that flows into a path full of ideas between the history of her land with that of other places and times, contaminated with each other in a wise mix between past and innovation.
Her art moves from the thread that keeps the micro and macro cosmos tied together, the symbols of our local with the signs of the universal. Evi does not fall into the error of neo-ethnicism or folklorism. Avoiding these traps, she arrives at a balanced and accurate cosmopolitan synthesis, with the evanescent scent of Sardinia. The immature vestals proposed in her fashion shows seem to come from a distant world, another. Guardians of memory, they recall the Arborean queens of the 14th century, as I think of them. Modern and current like today, perhaps anticipating a possible future trend.
The jewels, then, are true “prendas”. Archetypal jewels, as she defines her creations. Works inscribed within circular shapes that replicate, referring to the most ancestral past of Sardinia, which is Mediterranean, biblical, Christian, oriental. Symbolic representation of the cosmos, woven from sheets and threads of gold and colored stones, like mosaics of sublime temples. Figures woven of colors and shapes in symmetrical harmony. Representation of the horizon and the sky. Symbol of the celestial sphere, dimension of the universe, like the halo of Christ in the icons of Cecilia Sanna, icons present in the short film “Misure Divine”, unpublished, Evi’s latest creation.
Like the Great Mother, representation of the primordial divinity, parent, and nourisher, holder of the secret of life and consoler of death.
It is worth letting yourself be seduced by Evi’s creations, in her events, in the showrooms.
Gavino Minutti
Since the time of my cultural commitment at the Porto Cervo museum, my friend Evi has been telling me with passion about the transcendent experience that enchanted her when she saw “sa perda punta” the Boeli Stele, which is estimated to date back to 3,500 BC. The magic of concentric circles and infinity inspired her to create MOM.
MOM is the result of the marriage between styles and eras very distant in time, such as the Sardinian-Byzantine, the Etruscan and the Hispanic-Aragonese, and carries within itself the material fusion of these cultures.
The concentric circles that distinguish it are composed of symbolic numbers and archaic figures whose final combination is the symbol of rebirth, the archetype of the Mother Goddess, a sacred figure that is a key element in Nuragic culture.
MOM contains the sacredness of prayer in its very essence:
● prayer as the love of a past that has shaped it and a bond with the present that it embodies day after day,
● prayer as an absolute need for love,
● prayer as a meeting of souls in the great arms of the Mother Goddess.
MOM is something more than a refined and elegant jewel, if anything a symbol that is not subject to fashion, it is “eternal”, it is a trace of a distant past, of which the Boeli Stele speaks to us, and a projection of a future without limits.
There is in MOM the sense of infinity and an erudite approach by Evi to the use of archaic language that every civilization discovers in its past, a lexicon intended as a founding brick of living.
Evi gives us a rare example of craftsmanship that, resting on ancient and historicized realities, becomes art.
Her particular and skilled way of seeing and interpreting reality with refined manual skills and knowledge of materials make Evi an artist who has relied on the wise ability of artisan experience to create an object that is a true work of art.

The attentive visitor to the land of Gallura will not have failed to appreciate the whole set of characteristics that have contributed to making it famous throughout the world. The granites, the holm oak forests, the transparent waters, compose a picture of a unique environment: both harsh and harmonious, where the vestiges of an ancient past are solemnly grafted with their respectful simplicity. The works of Evi well represent this peculiar genius loci.
The artistic urgency that has always accompanied the artist’s work is accompanied by an original style that, at the same time, wishes to fulfill the dictates of a cultural archetype that does not fail to propagate in its most intimate characteristics, to which, ultimately, every Gallura artist and, more generally, Sardinian, remains indebted.
This union is accomplished and is demonstrated by the search for the materials of choice and the care in the creation of the works, whose undisputed genuineness, without compromises, is always combined with a formal rigor respectful of tradition.

Evi Pattitoni, prophet in her own country. An all-round artist: from TV experiences, to singing, to the creation of jewelry and fashion
Guest of honor, in “her” Telti, on the occasion of the Song Festival dedicated to the late Vittorio Inzaina, Elvira was welcomed with enthusiasm by her people for the path she has taken over the years. After having made some television programs, she tried her hand at many other activities, proving to be a multifaceted woman
