PROGETTO "MADE IN ITALY"
“Made in Italy” is my tribute to the Italy of the economic boom of the 50s and 60s.
In the works of this project I tell the brands, the excellences, the fashion, the design and everything that still today of the “Belpaese” represents the Italian style that the whole world envies us.
Places, comics, television and design reappear in the “Pop” graphic style typical of the era.
“Made in Italy” also represents my tribute to John Romita Sr, the great illustrator
of Marvel comics from the 60s/70s.
I have therefore created a contextualisation of his illustrated characters, “re-set” in places and wonders of Italian cities such as Ravenna and its mosaics in the Archbishop's Chapel, the Cathedral of Monza, the Collegiate Basilica in via Etnea in Catania or in realities representative of “Made in Italy” such as pizza, the Venice Carnival or the rebirth of Alitalia in 1969.
It is in this “Italian rebirth” that the memories of my childhood resurface in all their beauty and with painting I am happily able to give them greater elaboration and content.
In “Made in Italy” I tell my “feelings”, my life, my memories, my emotions.
