Arrivammo che ormai era buio e non potei vedere il mare che era lì, vicino all’albergo
Il mattino, avevamo appuntamento con il proprietario del terreno che ci interessava, presso il
“circolo culturale” del paese che, scoprimmo, essere lo studio del tecnico che si era offerto di
assisterci, sia nell’acquisto del terreno, sia nell’espletare le pratiche relative la realizzazione.
Entrammo nella stanza “circolo” che puzzava di fiato secco e fumo. Avevano giocato a carte tutta
la notte; non ci voleva molto a capirlo guardando le occhiaie delle sei o sette persone presenti.
Il proprietario del terreno si presentò citando soltanto il proprio nome: Raffaele, lo stesso che
utilizzavano tutti parlando di lui. Era un individuo dall’aspetto piuttosto rozzo e tale era anche nel
parlare., ma nell’atteggiamento mostrava una certa presunzione di superiorità che rimarcava con
lo sguardo, acuto ed indagatore, a volte sprezzante.
La trattativa durò poco perché Raffaele espresse subito le proprie richieste: ci avrebbe ceduto il
terreno al prezzo corrente se avessimo espletato entro un anno tutte le pratiche relative la
costruzione, in caso contrario, avremmo pagato dieci volte il suo valore. Una proposta pazza,
senza precedenti ed illogica; rimasi per qualche attimo confuso; evidentemente lui, e i presenti
che ascoltavano, oltre a ritenere la proposta normale, pensavano lo fosse anche per noi.
Raffaele ripetette la proposta, unica, per ottenere il terreno, chiedendomi se mi piacesse il rischio.
Fu questa domanda che mi chiarì la pazzia della proposta: era un gioco come il poker o la roulette.
Raffaele e gli altri amavano il gioco d’azzardo. Abbandonammo il paese e l’impresa.
A Milano mi arrivò un messaggio di Raffaele: ero un vigliacco, io, non lui che rischiava solo di
cedere il terreno al prezzo di mercato.

Stefano Galli, born in 1950 in Falconara Marittima and nurtured amidst the dynamic milieu of Milan, seamlessly intertwines his artistic and scientific pursuits. Refusing to perceive a schism between the foundational principles of industrial and civil design and his lifelong commitment to art, Galli embarked on a journey where creativity and functionality coalesce.
Drawing inspiration from futurism, metaphysics, and surrealism, Galli's paintings bear the unmistakable imprint of these influential artistic movements, all while maintaining a distinct connection to the world of comics. His artistic vision transcends mere visual representation, delving into the realm of narrative composition. Themes, rich with inspiration, serve as the scaffolding upon which he constructs intricate narrative paths, often intertwining stories with images. Renowned art critic Prof. Philippe Daverio characterizes Galli's artistic expression as "meta-real," a playful manipulation of reality that distorts visual perception while affirming a concept of continuity between opposing forces—between the above and the below, the inside and the outside.
The evolution of Galli's painting unfolds as a nuanced exploration of interiors and exteriors in both space and time. His canvases feature perspectives dramatically altered to convey the absence of traditional spatial and temporal constraints, offering a singular tableau where deformation begets multiple viewpoints. In his hands, the canvas becomes a storytelling medium, akin to comic strips, allowing viewers to transcend time with a single glance. Galli emerges as a modern storyteller, utilizing the language of painting to present a dynamic fusion of narratives seen through the lens of art.
Galli's artistic triumphs have found homes in numerous collections across Italy and beyond. His works grace the walls of private collectors in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
