Dear Paolo,
you left quietly, just as you always lived.
We still feel the need to express our gratitude for all that your art has meant to us since the very beginning of our gallery’s journey. We have lost not only a dear friend but also an extraordinary Master.
Your legacy lives on in every piece you created — in each sculpture, in every photograph, in all the works that shaped your artistic life. How many conversations filled with wisdom we shared! How much admiration your work has inspired over the years!
Your creations have always moved people deeply, and your talent has touched the hearts of all who encountered it. You taught us how to dream through art — and your art has become part of who we are.
Today we feel poorer without you, yet your artistic legacy will continue to live on. We remember you through this exhibition, conceived as a Wunderkammer: a space that brings together not only your artworks, but also the tools of your craft — chisels, gradines, subbies, claw tools, bush hammers, points, rasps, polishing discs, mallets, measuring instruments, cameras, lenses, bags, suitcases — and many other objects that will surely captivate those who never had the chance to know you.
Thank you for the gift you left us. You will always be remembered with affection and admiration.
