With us

6 years

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, 68 years old, I'm still taking hundreds of photos with 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/

Winning photos

The lighthouse of Favaritx, island of Menorca

74th Collection

It looks like an old lady looking at you from behind a door. Instead, it is a splendid mural in Ciutadela, island of Menorca

74th Collection

At the fish market in Ciutadela, island of Menorca

74th Collection

The painted whale appears to fly under the arch of an alley in Ciutadela, island of Menorca

74th Collection

Venice. The splendid colors of the lagoon between the Fondamenta Nove and the Island of San Michele.

73rd Collection

The beauty of small things: a very small mural along a Venetian street.

73rd Collection

Venice, the internal staircase of an ancient palace. Plays of light from the windows create a rainbow.

73rd Collection

The splendid pine forest ends on the dunes near Santa Lucia di Siniscola, Sardinia.

72nd Collection

Verona by night never ceases to surprise.

72nd Collection

Sardinia, Santa Lucia di Siniscola. In a quiet pine forest and a few steps from the sea, someone has invented bookcrossing. For those who live there and for tourists.

71st Collection

Outside the most popular tourist routes, the Venice of the Venetians still exists, and it is fortunate. With their houses, with their wonders.

71st Collection

There are magical places in Venice that have not yet been overrun by tourists. Places to sit on a bench to admire a sunset.

71st Collection

The "rondella delle Boccare" in Verona has ancient origins. Along the walls built in the 14th century by Cangrande della Scala, the Venetians had these bulwarks built in the 16th century. The Austrians during the occupation of Verona in the 19th century adapted and restored them. Today they are splendid monuments that can be visited.

70th Collection

At the time of the Austrian occupation of Verona it was an old military barracks. Now, wonderfully restored, the "Santa Marta" is the university seat. Also beautiful at night.

70th Collection

The ancient and the modern: the legendary "Frecce Tricolori" whiz across the sky over Verona, passing over Ponte Pietra.

70th Collection

A stone's throw from the city of Verona, where the countryside is still countryside, a splendid field of poppies

69th Collection

Giardino Giusti is a splendid green corner at the back of a historic building in Verona, between the hill and the Adige river. Visiting it is always a surprise

69th Collection

A garden is the home of flowers. But it can also be an opportunity to free one's imagination.

69th Collection

Venice, the most beautiful city in the world, is rightly visited by millions of tourists every year. That creates a big mess. But the beauty of Venice beyond its splendid palaces and churches and museums are the "Venetian people". Who, serenely, sometimes fish in the lagoon with the background of the most beautiful scenography in the world.

68th Collection

One could say "all house and gondola". Nice discovery of a well-known Venetian tavern...

68th Collection
