Ride the summer like a rebel queen, the girl on the Vespa crosses the rows with the wind in her hair. Her gaze, proud and light, reveals the secret of the Versilian hills, where the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay mature silently, between caresses of the sun and scents of youth.
Behind her, like a portal in the sky, Monte Forato watches over the Apuan Alps, witness of childhood walks and whispered loves.
This is a sip of timeless Tuscany, a toast to life that runs, to beauty that doesn’t ask permission, to wine that preserves memories in a bottle.
Visual arts exhibition that celebrates the awakening of spring through multiple contemporary artistic languages. The exhibition, which will be held at the prestigious Galleria degli Artisti in Via Nirone 1 in Milan, takes inspiration from the mythological figure of Persephone, whose ascent from the underworld marks the beginning of spring in the Greek pantheon. According to the myth, when Persephone returns to earth on the occasion of the spring equinox, her mother Demeter, goddess of agriculture, adorns nature with flowers, buds on the trees, dyeing the meadows green and the sky blue. This mythological theme becomes a metaphor for a double awakening: the external one of nature and the internal one of the human being. The selected artists are invited to explore this concept of rebirth and transformation, interpreting through their works the moment in which the renewed energies of spring manifest themselves both in the natural world and in the human soul. As evoked in the verses of Pablo Neruda quoted in the project: “It is that behind things there is you, Spring, who begins to write in the humidity, with the fingers of a playful child, the delirious alphabet of time that returns.” The exhibition is proposed as an opportunity for artists and visitors to undertake a path of reconnection with their own creative essence and with their “heart projects”, drawing on the inner resources that the spring season naturally awakens.

I had the immense pleasure of participating in this event together with my Art Teacher, the Painter Massimo Fontanini who brought a splendid work entitled “Rinascita”
it’s still May, and the light dazzles me. The sky is blue, and a breeze rises, the wind whispers softly to me: a memory of red poppies, of cornflowers, and daisies with white petals, repeated pleas of love.
If it weren’t for Enzo, who allowed me to set up my easel and paint, I would have no choice but to sleep on the deck chair. The Apuan Alps watch over me from above, while in front of me, the beach stretches out before a shimmering sea that fades into the horizon.
My daughter-in-law posed as a model, and my son, as a photographer, captured this scene, which I then transferred onto the canvas.

Artist Scenarios‘Artist Scenarios’ with the PromoTerr association at the church of Santa Caterina
From February 15th to March 8th in Lucca, in the church of Santa Caterina, there will be Artist Scenarios, a dynamic and interactive exhibition where the public can find, in addition to the works on display, various cultural and entertainment events.
In painting we find varied styles, from meticulous to material landscapes, from pure abstraction to retouched photos, from conceptual to portraits, from small to large canvases… an almost complete overview of contemporary art.
Then we have sculptures, here the overview is less extensive but representative, we have the art of driftwood, that is, the recovery of wood carried to the shore by sea and river currents, with which the artist creates animals and objects, alongside dynamic statuary marble sculptures, ceramic works and works in aluminum leaf and wooden sculpture-paintings. We close with paper cutting, a modern term that comes from far away, it is in fact a very ancient oriental technique, a new trend in paper recycling.
Once the artistic presentation is closed, we will see the dynamics and initiatives that Scenari d’Artista offers us, which presents itself as a dynamic and interactive exhibition that becomes, on weekends, a cultural space, which offers meetings and book presentations, particular attention has been paid to the closing day, March 8, Women’s Day, where two meetings are scheduled in addition to performances by the artists present.

Period: From February 15 to March 8, 2025, with inauguration on Saturday February 15 at 4:30 pm

ART EXCHANGE: ITALIAN AND AMERICAN ART MEET IN NEW YORK
Sponsored by the Rambaldi Foundation under the umbrella of the 2025 centennial celebrations and organized by the Rambaldi Promotions Cultural Association in collaboration with the Culture Lab of Long Island City, the exhibition “Art Exchange: A bridge between Italy and America” is a one-of-a-kind event that aims to unite Italian and American talents, creating an artistic dialogue that embraces cultures, styles and visions.
The exhibition was curated by Daniela Rambaldi and Tess Howsam, with the collaboration of Simona HeArt for the artistic coordination of the Italian artists and Giuseppe Lombardi.
The exhibition, which will be held in New York at the Culture Lab in Long Island City, from March 6 to April 20, 2025, will be an unmissable opportunity to admire works of the highest quality, discover new talents and reflect on the power of art as a tool for universal connection.
ITALIAN ARTISTS ON SHOW
The Italian participation in the exhibition is represented by a heterogeneous group of 75 artists, each with their own stylistic signature and a unique contribution to the contemporary art scene.
AN EVENT OF SOLIDARITY AND CONNECTION
In addition to celebrating art, the exhibition stands out for its commitment to supporting emerging artists and cultural activities. The proceeds from the sale of the official exhibition catalogue in the United States will be donated to the Culture Lab LIC, to continue supporting artists and their creative initiatives.
TOWARDS ITALY
Following the success of the event in New York, the exhibition will continue its journey in Italy, from July 17 to August 24, 2025, at Palazzo Gagliardi – Vibo Valentia, in collaboration with the Municipality of Vibo Valentia and A.C. Rambaldi Promotions.
American and Italian artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their works, further strengthening the cultural exchange between the two countries.
An exhibition of small format to present the liveliness, expression and beauty of art up close, even through small dimensions, dimensions that accentuate a functional opportunity for exchange, fast and dynamic, between contemporary art and its audience.
Not a reduction that is imposed on us in the works exhibited, but rather a fullness that is revealed to us. An accompaniment with the minimum, the fragment, the crumb. And don’t think that’s little!

Water refers to life, in its primordial form: the first cell originated in water; amniotic fluid protects the child during pregnancy, binding us inextricably with this element from the first moments of our existence. The theme of the exhibition focuses on the element of water, with particular attention to the environment linked to the sea, to the use and conservation of its resources for sustainable development. Painting, sculpture, illustration, photography and installation are the art forms admitted to the project, on a journey to discover the relationship between man and water, which has always been an invaluable resource for our species.

Let’s clarify right away: the title was decided by my Manager (i.e. my wife Luisa)!!!
Undoubtedly, the Rooster’s gaze and his beautiful display of his feathered and colored chest, lead one to think that He is the most important in the henhouse.
In this painting, inspired by a disrespectful cartoon published on Facebook, the subject offered stimulating and complex elements: the watchful eye, the crest and wattles, the pompous plumage. The background was completely redone at a later time, covering the signature with a glaze that appears to shine through and does not alter the final result.
