Rome, Italy. Detail of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona. The two statues (Nile, left and Rio de la Plata, right) gave rise to a legend. Given his rivalry with Borromini who designed the church in front, Bernini would have had the Rio de la Plata raising his arm for fear of the church falling upon him (or just to cover the sight of it) and the Nile would cover his face with a veil not to see the ugliness of the church. In fact the statues were designed by Bernini some years before Borromini took charge of the works for the fa�ade, and the Nile has his face veiled because its sources were unknown. The Nile is by Giacomo Antonio Fancelli, the Rio de la Plata by Francesco Baratta.

Roman, born 1966, photographer by vocation, I received my long-desired first camera when I was 7 years old, a Kodak Instamatic 36, and since then photography is one of my main interests in life. I work mainly in colour, using both digital and film, and develop my colour films by myself with a Jobo CPP-2 rotary processor. My main subjects of interest are urban landscape and sculpture, photographed with an explicitly descriptive attitude. My photographs have also been published in travel guides, newspapers and text books all over the world, from the US and Brazil to Japan. Please note that the Fine Art America watermark will not show in the print you buy. This only shows in this web site.
