We are proud to host this exhibition curated by the Mello Foundation at Palazzo Vecchio, a treasure chest of beauties to be discovered.” The canvases on display cover the themes dearest to the artist, focusing in particular on the views of our city. A distinctive element is his technique pictorial, similar to that of a modern fresco.
