I don't know why, even though I knew she thought she was a great cook, when they asked her which one
was his best dish, I inserted myself by saying “burnt roast”. Someone laughed, it was one
simple, innocent wit, but not her; Licia was so offended that she didn't look at me in the face
all night. A small accident that undermined our love; My apologies and then my apologies were of no avail
prayers. We broke up after a couple of months. She held the cat whose purr I still miss and
Today, when I coldly think back to what happened, one detail stands out clearly against the foggy sky
riot of memories. We often went to the top of the hill where, next to a friary,
a kind of tavern survived from which, sitting on a wall, we admired the sea and there
we sipped a glass of Dalmatian wine of which, who knows for what strange reason, the innkeeper was
always provided. The last time Licia didn't drink but left the wine free to dry in the sun and
this, I remember well, was before my burnt roast. How intriguing are the things of the world and
What an idiot I was for not realizing that Licia had already left me.

Stefano Galli, born in 1950 in Falconara Marittima and nurtured amidst the dynamic milieu of Milan, seamlessly intertwines his artistic and scientific pursuits. Refusing to perceive a schism between the foundational principles of industrial and civil design and his lifelong commitment to art, Galli embarked on a journey where creativity and functionality coalesce.
Drawing inspiration from futurism, metaphysics, and surrealism, Galli's paintings bear the unmistakable imprint of these influential artistic movements, all while maintaining a distinct connection to the world of comics. His artistic vision transcends mere visual representation, delving into the realm of narrative composition. Themes, rich with inspiration, serve as the scaffolding upon which he constructs intricate narrative paths, often intertwining stories with images. Renowned art critic Prof. Philippe Daverio characterizes Galli's artistic expression as "meta-real," a playful manipulation of reality that distorts visual perception while affirming a concept of continuity between opposing forces—between the above and the below, the inside and the outside.
The evolution of Galli's painting unfolds as a nuanced exploration of interiors and exteriors in both space and time. His canvases feature perspectives dramatically altered to convey the absence of traditional spatial and temporal constraints, offering a singular tableau where deformation begets multiple viewpoints. In his hands, the canvas becomes a storytelling medium, akin to comic strips, allowing viewers to transcend time with a single glance. Galli emerges as a modern storyteller, utilizing the language of painting to present a dynamic fusion of narratives seen through the lens of art.
Galli's artistic triumphs have found homes in numerous collections across Italy and beyond. His works grace the walls of private collectors in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
