SuperHumans and Fondazione EBRI Rita Levi-Montalcini join their forces by introducing the Agnosis Collection on the World Alzheimerās Day.
āIf you canāt remember where you put your keys, donāt just think itās Alzheimerās. Itās when you canāt remember what the keys are for that you should start to worryā said Rita Levi- Montalcini.
Agnosia, one of the most terrible symptoms of Alzheimerās, is a condition that causes the inability to recognize even the most common objects. On the occasion of the Alzheimerās Day, we created the Agnosis Collection - three objects, whose shapes and names, are only apparently recognizable but are really completely meaningless - to explain to those who are not familiar with the disease what it feels like when objects no longer have meaning.
A few days before the World Alzheimerās Day, we revealed our mysterious objects, raising curiosity among users from different social media platforms.
On September 21st, Gidello, Luvetto and Bralino appeared on the shelves of the Esselunga supermarkets, along with a hard-selling communication that invited people to buy them and to take advantage of an offer that they couldnāt refuse.
After the first moment of puzzlement, customers discovered the real nature of the objects and learned that they could donate for research.
The objects from the Agnosis Collection were sent to several influencers for a unique unboxing to start an online conversation and spread the word.
