Below are answers to some FAQ’s-
What is your favorite color?
Purple. Purple is a color that comes from two extremes.
Why call your business ‘BADUCCI’? Why not call it ‘Nicoletta’s cool art’, or something with your name?
Well, when I was younger I developed a nickname ‘Baducci’. My class had a substitute teacher that could not pronounce my last name, DiBucci; ‘Dib-yoo-see’. The teacher kept saying ‘BAh-Doo-CHEE’. So it stuck with the whole of my class.
I told my friends if I ever opened an art business I would call it ‘BADUCCI’.
I am a woman of my word. So when I graduated high school I founded my own art business and called it ‘Baducci’.
What inspires you?
Inspiration is the result of manifestation. We are inspired by what we manifest. I am inspired by whatever strikes me to go on the path for the greater good. My art reflects struggles on a political level, DEI, and anything that seems inspiring.
What’s the purpose of BADUCCI?
Well, to ask that is to ask what the purpose of art is. The purpose of BADUCCI is to provide my perspectives through my art. As a result, I’ve seen my perspectives manifest in others and inspire others. Therefore, the core of BADUCCI is to inspire, validate, and represent.
