UPS Has sponsored a young designer's competition. Clothing, sculpture, model boats, cars, and eco bike all were on show in the center of Piti Imagine Uomo.

The bike theme continues with neon bikes hanging from the ceiling, frames on the wall, and wrapped bikes in leather.

Throughout the Piti Imagine Uomo EXPO everywhere you turned there was a bicycle theme. Although you could not find anyone riding them around the expo, and if they did it would have been very dangerous, they were a great reminder to think green. Here we see one exhibition piece with bicycles in a grid. Below they had lines of white bikes lined up. Wait to see the other installations. We were really impressed with how much art was around to be appreciated at Piti. It made the experience visually stimulating and kept your attention long.

All over the city of Florence these posters appeared. No url or other information communicated on the poster. No one could really figure out what they were saying and one could only guess as with all art.
