Is the desire for freedom, to support and produce creativity beyond urban boundaries, a concrete possibility?
Ask Antonio Maiorino and Massimo Pastore, the founders of Corpo Celeste – Constantly Temporary, and while you’re at it, ask them why they named this place where you can drink, enjoy dedicated aperitifs, decide how to celebrate your memorable moments, and in the spirit of Blind Pigsty, enjoy cocktails, wines, craft beers while pairing your chosen drinks with original Ciampate di Gusto.
Antonio and Massimo possess an eclecticism that is hard to define; the former is an artistic director and writer with extensive experience in the hospitality industry, the latter is an artist whose expressive medium is photography and, together with Antonio, the founder of the PrimoPiano Gallery, which was based in Naples for sixteen years.
Since its publication in 1997, “Corpo Celeste” by Anna Maria Ortese has served as an ethical guidebook for Antonio and Massimo.
This text highlights the necessity of reclaiming a sense of belonging to another reality that transcends inertia and promotes a humanity that begins to believe in the kindness of Nature. Thus, the place Antonio and Massimo have built could only bear this name and could only be Constantly Temporary, as it is governed by continuous change, a metamorphosis that offers new experiences in art, taste, music, performance, and environment.

Freedom is a breath. Plants breathe, animals breathe, not just humans. This breath is universal, it is the unnoticed and mysterious rolling of life. If freedom is first and foremost a breath, if it is the breath, then there is freedom for humans.
Breathe, drink, and smile. Respira, bevi e sorridi.
Freedom is a breath.
