The Secession style of the first two decades of history celebrated on the B114, customized by Unexpected Custom, is not the floral and spring-like style of Alfons Mucha's posters. It resembles more the memory of an architecture, visual fragments of buildings seen on different journeys, far and near, in time and space.

In the "sacred spring", Ver Sacrum, the predominant color is blue, alongside gold and violet.
An opalescent violet of a winter sunset.
Green in these shades recalls the oxidation of bronze more than hope.
From the voluptuously lined window "the year was dying, quite gently"...

Like the protagonist of Chekhov's short story (My Life), the protagonist of the film Metropolis also escapes the constraints of caste and immerses himself in the world of workers.

Human hypogeum, inhuman apogee: bowels of the earth populated by workers, skyscrapers inhabited by cold despots.

The juxtaposition of different historical periods and aesthetic cycles creates unexpected analogies.
The arabesque lines return after half a century.

The highly colorful Flower Power of the 1960s now has influences that are at times oriental and spiritual, at others psychedelic, lysergic-liturgical, and chemical.
It is no longer the pure and simple joie de vivre from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Even though in Italy the 1980s carried the negative political nuance of being the corrupt decade par excellence, on a global level they were characterized by positive phenomena: such as the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

In the second to last work – in chronological order of the artistic cycle – the raw style of early graffiti and punk alternates with the colorful aesthetic of games and video games that were still elementary and harmless.
