Above: from the "great hall" of the casa-museo of Gabriele Reina, PhD, December 2024. A 700 year-old converted monastery, the house will be open to the public in coming months.
"I believe that heraldry has an artistic dignity of its own. Often, it perfectly blends the graphic charm with aesthetic of great painting. I am convinced that if Picasso, Modigliani, de Lempicka had known this kind of art we would have perhaps seen the flowering of a new artistic movement,maybe called "emblemism" more than "heraldism".
