Andrea Gallotti
(b. 1993, Monza, Italy)

Giulia Coda
(b.1994, Novi Ligure, Italy)
Coda attended the Art School C. Carrà in Valenza and then she moved to Venice to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. Here, she obtained the Level I Diploma in Painting and Performing Arts, in 2018 and the Level II Diploma at the same Academy, in 2020.
Giulia’s work represents reality, or at leas her idea of reality that encompasses multiple facets. Her research mainly focuses on landscapes as a result of her memories, studies of reality and a deep knowledge of ancient literature.
Francesca Piccinni
(b.1995, Padua, Italy)
After some years of traveling around Italy, Piccinni moved back to Veneto to attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where she obtained her Level I diploma in Painting and her Level II diploma in Decoration.
The mains focus of Piccinni’s artistic research is nature, and particularly seas and oceans. Indeed, she currently collaborates with Science Gallery Venice and CNR ISMAR Venice on the "Art of Marine Science" project, aimed at raising awareness of the major problems affecting all water regions.
“If the sea is endangered, so is each one of us”: through her work, Piccinni highlights the extraordinary panoramas deriving from seas and oceans and the risks that they are currently running.
