  • Curves of Vine and Vespa

    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.

  • PERSEFONE – InCANTO DI PRIMAVERA

    PERSEPHONE – InCANTO DI PRIMAVERA

    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.

    Event information

    Period: From 21 to 29 March 2025, with inauguration on Friday 21 March at 18:00

    Where: Galleria degli Artisti, Via Nirone 1, Milan

  • Golden wheat dances in the wind

    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.

  • Small is Better – Venezia 2024

    Small is better! = Piccolo è meglio!

    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!

    Exhibition curator Gina Affinito, gallery owner Paolo Bertuzzo and Valentina Recchia, art therapy teacher at ARTEDO Venezia, School of Arts Therapies, for an emotional reading of the works entitled: “SMALL MEETINGS WITH ART THERAPY”

    Event information

    Period: From 14 to 21 December 2024, with inauguration on Saturday 14 December at 6:00 pm


    Where: Arte Spazio Tempo, Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, Cannaregio 2877, Venezia

  • AQUAE Emozioni Fluide – Genova 2025

    AQUAE – Emozioni Fluide

    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.

    Information on the event

    Period: From 8 to 16 February 2025, with inauguration on Saturday 8 February at 6:00 pm

  • I am the Rooster

    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.

  • A dive and lots of bubbles

    I am a frog and from the shore I dive into the green pond where I was born and still live today without many worries.

    This painting has a particular charm, for the cheerfulness and lightness of the frog, a free animal, in perfect harmony with its natural habitat.

    The green of the water and the bubbles created in the dive, in contrast with the blue of the sky and the transparency of the waves and drops produced on the surface, are the perfect environment in which to play and live happily.

  • The first oil painting

    I have to be grateful to my art teacher Massimo Fontanini, who for many Friday evenings held a course at the Atellier Crespi in Via Brera, and allowed me to know, appreciate and acquire many oil painting techniques.

    It was he who proposed the first subject to draw and paint. Two “red apples” that were the first oil painting, the first challenge in oil painting.

    The test was to represent on canvas two products of the earth of which we have a usual knowledge and of which anyone can easily evaluate the result in terms of: roundness, color, result of light and depth.

    Not everything is perfect, but the combination of details and the painting is interesting.

  • Phalaenopsis

    For her birthday, my father-in-law Marco gave Luisa a beautiful white Orchid.

    It was August 26th and we put it on the garden table near the kitchen. Lots of light and protected from water and cold. Today, almost two months after its arrival, the plant is still there. Majestic and proud in its unchanged whiteness.

    I imagine it like this, a synthesis of all the flowers in the garden, a summary of the life and colors that surround us, lots of light and some dark shades.

  • My Mother – a Jaguar

    Every cub feels safe with its mother. This security is the first force that leads it into life and “teaches” it to face the world around it.

    Behind them there is the profile of other felines lurking, ready to attack and devour it while it is still a cub. But the mother will teach it the art of defending itself and building its future. The only absolute certainty but, unfortunately, also limited in time.
