My name is Mario
and I would like to present something I affectionately call: my Durandome! This is a window into my Duran Duran collection, with just a small portion of the archives currently visible. Over the course of nearly 30 years of Duran Duran's history, I have been proud to call myself a Duran fan. This pride is celebrated in the diversity of my collection, which includes rare treasures of all shapes and sizes. From the earliest Sound of Thunder Promo Sampler, to the latest edition of the RCM LP, every aspect of Duran's incredible legacy is reflected in my archives.
Over the years, I have set few limitations on my collecting efforts. The collection now boasts over 1500 items, including everything from official LP's, promo vinyl, CD's and vintage clothing to press clippings, posters, pins, mugs and a wide variety of other unique artifacts. |

| I may be most proud of the vast video content in my collection: I have acquired over 300 hours of Duran Duran video materials from various TV promotions and concerts around the world. Stretching from the band's early beginnings up to the present day, my collection of international video captures Duran Duran doing what they do best: performing amazing live concerts and thrilling audiences all over the globe. Official releases on VHS and DVD are excluded here, which makes my collection particularly full of exclusive footage and special, rarely seen video moments. Recordings of Duran's live shows over the years are a never-ending source of joy, to collect as well as watch. |

My inventory includes a broad selection of official items which illustrate how Duran Duran has evolved through years. I can safely say that many of my most cherished memorabilia have been autographed by the band. I have acquired editions of Duran's CD's and LP's from nearly every country around the world, exemplifying the band's international appeal and influence. Some of the most exotic editions have come from Japan and Taiwan, and it is a pleasure to feature them in my collection, still sealed in original packaging. Only U2 and Depeche Mode have produced such varied and world-wide editions of their music, which highlights how Duran Duran have always been found among the best in pop music.
Furthermore, truly unique items in my collection such as the Duran Duran bubble gum and sticker sets from 1984 show the extent of the band's colorful marketing and widespread impact on 80's pop culture. Every aspect of my collection examines how Duran Duran became -- and still remains -- such beloved icons in music. I can highlight Japan and Taiwan editions of most exotic and some of them are still sealed.
An especially impressive section of my archives is the extensive amount of press clippings and photographs I have taken while following the band on various tours.
