I would now like to tell you about my friend Paolo Sottocorona, well-known and estimated meteorologist at La7 TV station, who sadly passed at the beginning of October.
Paolo left with us many valuable things to be remembered: among these, professionalism and constant care, the ability in making authentic divulgation, always keeping a proper distance from easy and captivating sensationalism.
Moreover, capacity and politeness in making complex phenomena understandable for most of us, along with willingness and commitment to divulge pro-bono and co-operation acitivities, in the awareness that any single action counts.
Now that he has gone elsewhere, the beautiful and unexpected gift he made to me some time ago has become unique: he dedicated to my work the entire space reserved to photographs during one of his transmissions. A deep emotion indeed, here is the video.
Thank you Paolo, not only for the extraordinary gift you made me, but for the many you made in time to all of us. We will miss you.
And ... my work "Portone di Baccio" has become symbol image of WhatsApp channel of the Touristic Office of the Lastra a Signa Municipality!
Am really glad for this, I showed this image for the first time during the creative photograph workshop I held during the "Festa della Toscana 2008" at the Scuola Media Statale "Leonardo da Vinci" in Lastra.
Please keep in touch for upcoming events!
My personal exhibition "Senza tempo" took place between May and June 2024 at the splendid Museo Civico della Paglia in Signa, which shows exquisite collections of straw handmade creations and high craftmanship ceramics.

And here is "Eterea Bellezza", the symbol-image of the 17th edition of ItaliArt, Italian Art and Culture Festival taking place each year in Dijon. Have shown this work in Italy first ever in this exhibition, and it was really appreciated by both French and Italian public.

A first glance
Just one more moment, to discover the starting point and the arrival.
Introducing myself
My first exhibition took place in March 2005, even though I started artistic researches and experimentations much earlier. Each work originates from images which I take personally - sole exception, the made to order works, which I have realized also from clients' supplied photographs.
I then work through digital instruments on the elements in each image, until I reach my vision of the subject. You may discover more visiting Filtrismo.
It was the start of a fortunate series of exhibitions and events, still going on. Among the others, those which took place at the UNIT-Universidade Tiradentes and MUHSE-Anthropological Museum (Aracaju, Brazil - 2006), National Archeological Museum in Florence (www.archeovisioni.it - Italy, 2010), Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florence (Italy, 2011), Italian Institute for Culture in Brussels (Belgium, 2013), Lu.C.C.A. Museum (Lucca, Italy, 2019). To discover more, please visit About me.
And since a few years, while continuing the exhibiting activity I apply my creativity to other ambits too.
Have created particular home decorative objects, exclusively handcrafted in Florence, Italy - illuminated pictures, small tables, frames with mirror. You may purchase these at Extremo Design Interior Decoration Studio by Susanna and Silverio Benedetti, located in Lastra a Signa (Florence, Italy), and the Internoventi shop in Empoli (Florence, Italy), where Nora and Silvana will be glad to meet you.
Have also developed proposals for Interior Decoration, suitable for walls, niches, panels ... several materials and finishing available.
Windows and glass walls too may be transformed in a picture - solutions for privacy screening available.
A rich portfolio is offered for your choice, exclusive realizations from your own images are also possible.
From my pictures, I also love to create particular stoles and scarves, from essential nuances ideal for formal occasions to a phantasmagoria of colors, to be accompanied by the rainbow.
And bags in printed fabric too, realized in full colors as well as in black-and-white.
