Armonia in langa

Tra i filari, la Cappella del Barolo cattura lo sguardo, e il borgo in cima sembra sospeso tra terra e cielo.

Sulle colline all'orizzonte l’anima tace per ascoltare la voce del paesaggio.

Armony in Langa

Among the rows of vines, the Chapel of Barolo catches the eye, and the village on the hill seems suspended between earth and sky.

On the hills at the horizon, the soul falls silent to listen to the voice of the landscape.

Etching

The etching, an indirect engraving technique, derives its name from the Latin "aquafortis," referring to the acid used: nitric acid. Typically, etchings are numbered from 1 to 100, but I have chosen to create more limited editions to provide further value to the works.
Proces
Etching is a metal engraving technique used to create images. The process begins by covering a plate of copper or zinc with an acid-resistant varnish. The artist then engraves the design into the varnish, exposing the underlying metal.
The plate is then immersed in an acid bath, corrodes the exposed areas, creating the engravings. After rinsing, ink is applied to the plate, which is then pressed onto paper to transfer the image.
