In June 2015 for "Art no frost, frigoriferi d'autore" (Smeg Fridge Painting, Festival of H-drà) in Lecco, Luisa has drawn upon the Smeg fridge - Nanda-Devi - with temples, mountains, prays and 108 faces of Nepali women, men and children.
The fridges painted by the artists have been shown in some windows in the center of Lecco and then auctioned. Each artist chose a charity project. Luisa Rota Sperti has chosen Nepal for her painting, inspired, as she says, "to the sweet people of Nepal", which she visited in 1972 and that are always in her heart; deeply stricken by the tragedy of this populations (terremoto del 25 aprile 2015), she hasn't any doubts by choosing the charity project “Cargo for Nepal”.
After this event, the same subject has been (with light variations) repeated into numerosi works with different techniques and bases. Luisa expands in time her need to elaborate.
