Rome opens up new vistas
As expected, Rome has turned out to be a most fertile soil for the International Exhibition of Calligraphy. We had the pleasure of meeting an extraordinary character – an Italian calligrapher Massimo Polello.
Alexey Shaburov and Massimo Polello at his studioMr. Shaburov and Massimo Polello met in the creative studio environment in one of the narrow streets of Rome. Massimo showed his last masterpieces and told about his creative plans.
Moments of artThe master promised to create a new work and to give it to the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy. Moreover, Massimo agreed to make us a unique chef-d’oeuvre details of which you will know later on.
During his stay in Italy Alexey Shaburov also met with another star of Italian calligraphy. Barbara Calzolari devoted 25 years of her life to the fashion business, but all that time she kept calligraphy in mind. Barbara is a master of the sharp-pointed nib pen and she prefers to write on some unusual materials: an old t-shirt, a tabletop. Nonetheless, many of her works are executed in strict compliance with the canons of classical calligraphy.
Barbara CalzolariBarbara showed great interest in the II International Exhibition of Calligraphy, and we hope that soon we will have one more bright master of calligraphy join our project.
