“Davide holds a special place in my heart as we both come from the same hometown. What has always fascinated me is his knowledge of art and photography and his elegant bearing; I always imagined him as an old intellectual lady in the 1920s. Other than that, he has consistently been a strong supporter of both myself and my art."
