QUO VADIS?

A portrait of then 94 year old Vincenza in her kitchen in Italy by artist Massimiliano Piranti.

“Vincenza was my grandmother and a fundamental part of my family history. I wanted to represent her in a moment of her everyday life, sitting in the middle of the kitchen, illuminated from above by a chandelier that, like a spotlight, highlights the features of almost a century of life.”

The oil on aluminum panel painting was the Third Prize winner BP Portrait Award 2019, National Portrait Gallery

“Vincenza lived each day as if it was her last and often told me: ‘you'll see that tomorrow, I’ll be gone.’”. She passed away in 2021.

CARDI FRITTI della NONNA

Batter-fried #cardoons or #cardone are annually made in memory of my paternal grandmother’s birthday. She was born on New Year’s Eve.

Also, a platter with #salami, in memory of my grandfather, who was self-employed in the meat business, including sales of salumi (various cured pork and meat products). This brand is made with barrel-aged high whiskey by Creminelli Fine Meats.
