Don Pantalone’s pedestal
Don Pantalone – the “miser” seems to be the dominant feature of this famous mask. The artist portrays the character in the middle of the lagoon on a pedestal, having as background the main buildings of Piazza San Marco. The symbol used is the vault; its floating suggests that it is empty, that it is an economic crisis.
Il Mattaccino
The artist extrapolates here the story of the “Il Mattacciono” mask across Venice. It is a gesture to point out the trace of disappearance of traditions in Europe. In Venice some balconies were covered by nets during the carnival for defense against scented eggs. They were thrown especially to the windows of the young ladies’ rooms. The gondolier bears the frustrated mask through the quiet lagoon.

Accomodation in Piazza San Marco
Painting is a representation of the flooded San Marco Square. The artist forces this situation where the water is not at all deep and imagined a gondola. Everything is changed to turn the Campanile di San Marco into an insignificant mooring pillar. Over time, there has been a tendency to embellish these pillars, and the artist made a painting in the first series “Venice”, entitled “The Lollipops”.

Rialto
The work represents the Rialto Bridge in its first variant – wooden. It looked like the flight scale at the airport.
