FMR is a luxury art magazine that was initially created by Franco Maria Ricci, an Italian publisher and polymath.
When pronounced aloud, it also sounds like éphémère, a French word with rich connotations that may translate as "fleeting" or "transitory".
In December 2002, after twenty years from the release of the first issue, Ricci sold the magazine to Marilena Ferrari's company Art'é to focus on his old ambition to build the largest maze in the world, "Labarinto della Masone", in Fontanellato.
In 2015, after completing the seven-hectares wide maze also featuring an art museum and a library, Ricci bought back the copyrights of FMR with the potential intent to resume publication.
