  Integra Aetas says:

  "By chance I came across the page of Il Maestro, every photo was a surprise and a delight for my senses. Then, this place became my main source of inspiration, admiration and learning. A class of Aesthetics for the an attentive mind, a critical reflection on art, culture and beauty.
  My favorite flickr page, a place to put my mind at work and my spirit at rest. Grazie mille.
  Honor est honorantis, non honorati - Undoubtedly it's much more an honor for me to write this words."

  "Paolo has been the longest in my Flickr contact list. After 37 months of sustained observation and admiration, I can say that he is an artisan of photography, philosopher of the human condition, a humanist. I should probably add a technical note, my sustained observation has been met by his constancy of expression.
  
  To keep it in the spirit of his work, he is a sage of photography!"

  "He's the living photographer I most admire. For his skill with every aspect--his masterly handling of composition, his seemingly complete understanding of shadow and light. For his poetry. For his taste. For his perfectly executed images, one after another. They are beguiling, seductive, arresting. They are intense and immediate, and they carry the weight to teach you everything, and the power to break your heart."

  "wonderful highly qualitative pictures, scenes full of diversity - photos telling stories. That's what I like: this "old school" - means: timeless - kind of photographing. I am glad to have met you here."

  Santi Oliveri (the ph. formerly known as stroop) says:

  "In un Flickr dove la tecnica della fotografia è stata dimenticata dalla nuove leve, Abschied rappresenta una guida indispensabile per questa comunità. Ci ricorda come per esprimere al meglio i propri e gli altrui sentimenti attraverso le immagini, bisogna aver piena coscenza del mezzo fotografico e della sua tecnica. I suoi scatti sono un esempio di come, dosando la luce e le ombre, si possa catturare l'anima. Non solo quella delle persone, ma anche quella delle cose."
