Thinking about Magis on this special occasion makes me feel somewhat incredulous, disorientated: it seems impossible that forty years have passed since we sat, a group of friends around the table in a tavern, dreaming of creating something new, something that expressed our vision of the world.

Magis was a dream, an idea; now it is an international reality that still preserves those old aspirations, putting them into practice with a new, more balanced, concrete approach.
