Maurizio Zanetti

 Verona (Italy)

I shot photographs from when I was 6 years old. I played with Threepenny machines up to 18. Then I discovered the reflex camera (first an old Zenit E, then Olympus OM1, OM2). I discovered the black and white (the mythical Ilford), the dark room. From 20 years to 45 I snapped, developed and printed thousands of photos. Especially dance, theatre, portraits. Almost always black and white. When digital arrived I was very wary. Then, slowly, I discovered the advantages in the use of digital cameras and, sometimes, Photoshop. I'm not a pro but (I think) a good amateur and today, 64 years old, I'm still taking hundreds of photos with Canon EOS 550D and Olympus OM d – E-M 10 Mark III. I always love dance, theatre and portraits. But also the landscape, reportage and above all street photography. And now that I have the iPhone, sometimes with Hipstamatic app, I discovered a wonderful chance to take pictures whenever I want. I’m on FLICKR like Maurizio Zanetti – mauzzan https://www.flickr.com/

Collection 37

Sirolo, Conero Riviera, San Michele beach. Before the tourists arrive you can still admire the compositions left the previous day. Small constructions of land art, without pretending to be...

Collection 37

The Adige river gathers the historic center of Verona in a bend. From Ponte Nuovo you have a nice glance: on the left the church of Sant'Anastasia, on the right on the hill surrounded by cypresses Castel San Pietro, in the center, small little, Ponte Pietra. The clouds of a splendid day in late summer are the outline.

Collection 36

They call them "the crests of Monte Grolla". It is a path that runs along an overhang on the velle di Revolto, Lessinia Regional Park, less than an hour's drive from Verona.

Collection 35

An hour's drive from Verona, on the Lessinia plateau, a path runs alongside a cliff for a few kilometers. They are the "crests of Mount Grolla", a masterpiece of nature in which it is easy to find chamois and marmots. And also the "lung-ta", the Tibetan prayer flags, spread in the wind by some hikers.

Collection 35

The night and its colors as always give new shots for the beautiful Verona. In the foreground the ruins of the Roman Theater. Overlooking the ancient "Ponte Pietra" and the bell tower of the cathedral.

Collection 34

A stone's throw from Campo Santa Margherita, Banksy has given his murals to Venice and the world. Murals that, sometimes happen in Venice, are partially covered by high water.

Collection 34

A classic view of Verona from Ponte Nuovo towards the Church of Sant'Anastasia and Castel San Pietro. Waiting for the storm coming.

Collection 33

Waiting for the first tourists, the newly painted beach cabins give a touch of color. And a taste of the old holidays. Photo was taken in Sottomarina (Chioggia) with iPhone7, no post-production.

Collection 32

To say that Venice is a unique city in the world is all too trivial. But it is only with his usual acquaintance that we can discover, step by step, corner by corner, the incredible beauty of his daily life: clothes hung out to dry between home and home, the boats moored, the colors that are reflected in the canals. A simple but perhaps always new beauty ... The photo was taken with iPhone 7, no post-production.

Collection 31

Dozza, a small village on the Apennines between Tuscany and Romagna, is a treasure chest with entirely frescoed houses. Since 1965 it has hosted the Biennale of the Painted Wall, with artists from all over the world who continue to transform it into a true open-air art gallery. Photo taken with iPhone 4 during a visit of mine back in 2012.
