SuperOtium, via Santa Teresa degli Scalzi, 8 – 80135 Naples
SuperOtium, in collaboration with Dispaccio Art Bookshop, presents Wunderkit.
Mysterious objects, things found on the street, autobiographical keepsakes, tools from a workshop, talismans, utterly useless yet beautiful items, stress-relievers, objects that smell brand new, and relics from the past.
Welcome to Wunderkit, a format curated and hosted by Giulia Capodieci that explores creative ventures—five objects at a time.
Each object becomes a spark for memories and inspiration, unraveling stories of wonder through the perspectives of artists, designers, typographers, and illustrators.
The guest of the new Wunderkit event at SuperOtium in Naples is Livia Satriano, an image researcher and curator of the Libri Belli project.
“Curiouser and curiouser!” exclaims Alice in Wonderland—an almost untranslatable phrase, except perhaps with a playful “Curioserrimissimo!”.
Like a modern-day Alice, Livia Satriano explores the wonders of visual archives, books, pop imagery, and musical subcultures, driven by an insatiable thirst for wonder.
Originally hosted at Bonvini 1909 — a cultural and creative enterprise born from the restoration of the historic Milanese stationery and printing shop Fratelli Bonvini — Wunderkit will be hosted in Naples for this special edition at SuperOtium, in collaboration with Dispaccio Art Bookshop.
This event is part of SuperOtium’s cultural program, curated by Nicola Ciancio, and aligns with this season’s theme, Ricami—a metaphor for the delicate and intricate traces left behind after a journey or an encounter.

Who is the next guest of Wunderkit?
Livia Satriano is an image researcher and a storyteller of rare, curious, and forgotten stories. Since 2017, she has been curating Libri Belli, a project dedicated to rediscovering 20th-century Italian publishing: from the aesthetics of books and covers to publications that have often been forgotten, considered minor, or overlooked, but that deserve to be rediscovered for their history or cultural significance.
