Yet there is a “plastic” dimension that has always been part of my creative DNA and that today is once again making its presence felt.

Paolo Mariani’s presentation event at the Chamber of Deputies on July 7, 2026, also caught the attention of *L’Arena*. An article by Luca Mantovani titled “Paolo Mariani and Aeropittura (Aeropainting) — ‘The Landscape Seen from Above’” opens the Culture & Entertainment section of the July 31 issue.

Presentation of Paolo Mariani’s Works at the Chamber of Deputies
On July 7, I had the great pleasure of seeing my work presented at the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies. The event was part of the celebrations marking the centennial of Aeropittura futurista (Futurist Aeropainting)—an original initiative aimed not at confining this extraordinary period in Italian art to memory, but at exploring what its legacy might be today in contemporary artistic practice.
A brief review of Paolo Limoli
When I visit exhibitions and meet artists, I often come across interesting and well-crafted works. More rarely, however, do I encounter pieces that truly surprise me with their originality and the almost obsessive attention to detail with which they are conceived and executed.
That was my impression upon viewing the work of Paolo Limoli, the featured artist in the exhibition “Stratus – A Journey into the Soul of Matter”

Murano, red and black glass fish
In the early months of this year, I decided to publicly present some works that I created during 2025. I like to take the time I need to decide that a work is truly finished, even though, when I start, I have fairly precise ideas about what I want to achieve.
ExpoArte in Montichiari, February 20–22, 2026
I already took part in ExpoArte Montichiari last year and particularly appreciated the fact that, thanks to its relatively small size, it allows for genuine dialogue with visitors. Alongside emerging and established artists, you can also admire some works by the “giants” of modern and contemporary art. A truly unmissable opportunity!
