The story
Calendario is a bronze-winged dragonfly who teaches Lumen that time is not a road to conquer, but a garden in which every transformation has its season. Through their encounter, Lumen discovers that being slower does not mean losing — A ognuno il suo tempo.
“Do not ask whether your hour has come. Become... the person your hour has been waiting for.” — Calendario

The object, in the collector’s words
Official medal of the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, issued as the Calendar Medal 1988, the work of sculptor Sergio Ongaro. The work depicts the metamorphosis of the dragonfly, symbol of the passage of time and the evolution of life. The 1988 calendar is artistically integrated into the composition, making this medal a distinctive fusion of art, symbolism, and numismatics. Minted by the Italian State Mint as an official artistic issue, the medal comes with its original descriptive certificate. Excellent condition, with slight signs of time compatible with preservation.
