It ’s a beautiful tribute , and a testament to how many lives he ’s touched . Massimo is truly one of the kind , most generous people I ’ve met in the design world . And completely approachable . Each time I ’d call him for a quote or an interview , I was surprised that he answer his own phone , and he was eager to talk . He always had time .
Here are a few letter that caught my eye , and I can only imagine how many more are arriving at his house each day . With his approval , I ’d love to see these gather into a book . It would be a fitting fashion to think back his spirit .
