The “Alessandro M.- Merry Boy” corkscrew is the product chosen as the 2011 symbol for “The Dream Factory”: a partnership project between Alessi and the Association "Amici dei Bambini" set up in 2006 with the aim - just like Father Christmas - of making dreams come true for lots of children living in hardship all over the world. This year Father Christmas is dressed up in red, white and green to bring his round-the-world "Dream Factory" trip to Italy for the first time. The project that Alessi and Amici dei Bambini have chosen to decorate in green, white and red to celebrate our country focuses this time on someone really special: tiny babies still too young to have real wishes of their own, apart from the unique and imperative one of wanting to stay with their mothers. For them, the first Mother-Child Community, managed by Amici dei Bambini, will be built in the Milan area in 2011. It'll be a protected, safe place where new mums with problems will be welcomed with their little ones in that time of need. A special home where they can learn to be mothers and children, enveloped in each other's warm arms.
