Reliqvia speaks of the walls covered in gilded wood, finely decorated with carvings and reliefs,
speaks of the incensed steps towards the great high altar, like a golden embroidery, where the
statue of the dead Christ is kept inside it, a wooden work of the seventeenth century and visible
only once a year. But he also wants to frame in a synaesthetic way the altarpiece made by
Federico Barocci, “the Transport of Christ to the sepulcher” , one of the most beautiful works by
the painter from Urbino executed in 1582, and for which he also designed the frame. So
Reliqvia is a place where to meet and where to reevoke memories, to remind the time that
passes and which becomes “solemn and authentic gold”, a message of corruptibility and
incorruptibility. Reliqvia is the tangible trace, the last trace, to describe in life a different and
prodigious existence above us. It is the wardrobe always closed, the precious custody of sacred
men that makes us understand that time is precious and that it risks being consumed without
letting us leave a clear mark in life. Reliqvia is the nail of the Passion, layered and peaty incense
from the solemn and sacred years. There is no sacred, if men do not recognize the sacred, and
exalt it in perfect rites. Reliqvia is the perfect sacred space.
Filippo Sorcinelli is a lifestyle brand, the result of contamination between the arts. In 2014, as a tribute to the Atelier LAVS, the first fragrance of the UNUM collection was born, like a sort of olfactory
tailoring, then followed by perfumes dedicated to the artistic passions of their creator: gothic art,
music, photography ... the fog. Filippo Sorcinelli is not only synonymous with niche
fragrances; the company's projects range volcanically in every sector: art, events, fashion,
design, in a concept of lifestyle that embraces different aspects of contemporaneity through
unusual shapes and materials. A journey through spirituality and harmony, in the constant and
audacious search for beauty.
