In volo su Garda - Agenda 1996 (2024) Printmaking by Paolo Mariani

Passionate about graphics and photography, he attended courses in advertising and marketing.
He obtained his artistic maturity in Verona with top marks while experimenting with the use of polyester resins and fibreglass in modelling.
With these materials, at the beginning of the 1970s, he realised the luminous furnishing prototypes ‘La Foresta’ – ‘La Quercia’ – ‘The Glass Peac’ and others of considerable impact and originality.

He works in the world of restoration with considerable success, patenting equipment and technologies that will be used on monuments and buildings of considerable value and prestige. Some of the most significant examples include: the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, the Palazzo Del Quirinale in Rome, the Uffizzi in Florence, the Palazzo Papadopoli in Venice, as well as countless interventions in churches throughout Italy and Spain. 

Among his many collaborations with architects and designers throughout Italy, those with Libero Cecchini and Tobia Scarpa will remain fundamental, extremely formative and significant.
At the beginning of the new millennium, the author’s curiosity and desire to deepen his understanding of social dynamics encouraged him to attend the University of Urbino until he graduated in Sociology with a thesis on Bourdieu’s work ‘La Distinction’: Social Critique of Taste.
In 2017 he donated the complete restoration of Juliet’s Balcony to the City of Verona as a sign of his deep love for his city.

The passion for graphics and the expressive possibilities derived from it, remains ever-present in the author’s life, which he jots down in his AGENDAS, during his continuous business trips.
Finally, in 2018, the author began to materialise the emotions and suggestions gathered in these notes over more than forty years
