Exhibiting at Galleria Masini, Firenze is Sandro Negri  who was born in the village of Virgilio in Lombardy (Italy) in 1940. He grew up among several generations of peasants in an ancestral farmhouse observing and absorbing the ages-old agricultural traditions and rituals. So his experiences in Italy's most fertile farm region, the Pianura Padana, provide the themes for his paintings such as the peasant figure draped in a dark "tabarro" in a winter scene, women gathering flowers in springtime and fields of grain in summer. It is impossible not to be fascinated, transported, bewitched by his astonishing paintings called by a French critic "joy found again in lost paradise".

Ubaldo Ballerini  also exhibiting at Galleria Masini, Firenze, was born in Fanano (Modena) in 1927. The influence of his native Emilia shows in the compact, warm colours, almost suggesting the fertile soil; Tuscany has contributed with the transparent, luminous resonances of certain light-effects. Thus during his oneiric journeys towards beloved spots the artist pursues also a thorough consciousness of himself, instilling most of his emotional power in all he sees, feels and reproduces. Seemingly the painter Ballerini tries to absorb the surroundings with the light hand and the rapidity owing to the impressionists or perhaps even more with discrete and unassuming rural peacefulness shown by the Macchiaioli School of 19th century.
