Its story

In the stern of the ship Argo sails a white star of frank, elegant light. Its glow began its journey 567 years ago, when Gutenberg was printing his Bible in Mainz and the Florentine Renaissance was seeing Botticelli born. Hotter than the Sun and of an almost bluish white, it suggests a freshly polished sheet of paper or marble exposed to the Mediterranean noon.
