  "And what can I say so original in order to make this testimonial worthy to be read!!!!! Simply that each shot of Valerio is a masterpiece because you can find his talent, humor, Partenopeo (check on Wikipedia :-)) style, love for his foreign life.
  It's a Flickr friend and these "poor two words" just attest my friendship.
  Good life paisa' (I don't know if you can find this last word on Wiki :-))
  Hugs,
  
  Fulvio"

  Extra Medium says:

  "Finally after years of begging Valpop has decided to make me a contact just so I can give him a testimonial. Well, I have nothing but incredible things to say about him. It's obvious that he loves photography with the utmost passion, but it really is cheating that he lives in such a beautiful place. He is surrounded by natural and man made beauty, and we are all blessed to be able to view his work on here.
  
  Keep it up!"

  "Lo stream di Valerio è molto meglio della televisione. "Ci vuole poco!", direte voi. Giusto, mi correggo: lo stream di Valerio è appassionante come un romanzo d'amore, stuzzica il nostro voyeurismo meglio di qualsiasi rotocalco, accende il tifo come nemmeno la squadra del cuore, ci rende partecipi delle vite dei protagonisti al pari della soap opera più gustosa. Inoltre, le sue splendide immagini di Napoli tengono viva la speranza di un futuro migliore. Valpopando santo subito! :-)"

  ecstaticist says:

  "Valpopando's photos have been a great mystery and inspiration ever since I joined the flickr community. I have been left speechless each day as I encountered his amazing landscapes and seascapes on the Explore page [they should call it valpoexplore]. The sheer intensity of beauty pushed me to study how to work with dynamic range and understand more about the digital darkroom.
  
  Recently I have also come to appreciate that Valerio has a great sense of humor and playfullness, which brings great joy and fun to the everyday experience of flickr.
  
  Thanks, Valerio, for being an inspiration and guiding light for those of us who came after. We watch, learn and enjoy. Please keep bringing the magic and laughter to flickr!"

  "Valerio is a giant.
  I hope the city council in Naples name one of the streets after him and reduce his taxes. So many people fell in love with Naples (and with photography) because of him..."

  "Hablar de Valerio es hablar de paisajes fantásticos, colores alucinantes, formas, luces increibles...Hablar de Valerio es hablar de fotografía y sobretodo es hablar de filckr. Llevo seis mese en este mundo apasionante y cuando descubrí la primera "Valpofoto" me quedé atónito y con la boca abierta. Es una delicia descubrir cada día las imágenes tan sugestivas que Valpopando nos muestra. Otra cosa: la primera vez que recibes un comentario de Valpopando no puedes creerlo!!!!
  Gracias amigo, ya sabes que tienes un montón de amigos en España. Ven cuando quieras que serás "benvenuto""

  "Sono orgoglioso di essere di Napoli ogni volta che vedo uno scatto di valpopando...i suoi occhi hanno una marcia in più, non c'è che dire, ed ha una capacità incredibile nell'attuare la tecnica HDR che di per se non è tra le mie preferite, ma che lui usa in modo incredibile.
  
  Un artista, a 360 gradi.

  "il professionel del hdr!
  i primi hdr che ho visto su flickr non mi piacevano
  ,ma quando sono caduto sullo stream di val ho cambiato totalmente parere ,
  il suo stream è formidabile e mi fa sognare
  non conosco personalmente val ma è un persona sympasthique e con molti umorismo
  
  val spero che il mio italiano è comprensibile
  baci"

  "Valpopando
  
  Noto che è stato un ventilatore reciproco di mine poiché congiunge il flickr.
  
  È stato molto delicated ai gruppi del flickr sia nelle sue immagini &, le risorse & il tempo di consigliare a, nella motivazione & ispirare molti. Tale genere di motivator & di Capo di auto è oggi molto molto sfida sul fotoricettore.
  
  Sulla sua esposizione qui, è un artista innato di formazione immagine, ciascuna delle sue parti matrici è se non merito superb. Godo & imparo qualche cosa di nuovo quando visito qui. Siete consigliate a per visitarli di più & per scoprire più......
  
  Li saluto per la vostri bontà & contributo alle Comunità.
  
  Siete grande!!!!!
  
  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
  
  Valpopando
  
  I do notice that he have been a mutual fan's of mine since he joint flickr.
  
  He have been very much delicated to the flickr groups both in his pictures &, resources & time to encourage, motivating & inspire many. Such kind of Self motivator & Leader is very very dare on the web today.
  
  On his exhibit here, he is a inborn Imaging Artist, each of his master pieces are superb if not excellence. I enjoy & learn something new when I visit here.
  
  You are encourage to visit him more & discover more......
  
  I salute you for your kindness & contribution to the communities.
  
  You are great!!!!!"

  Leviathor says:

  "Valerio's flavor of HDR is beautifully executed and easily identifiable as his. Maintaining such a high, repeatable quality of output is a difficult feat to master, one which Valerio handles exceptionally well. His success on Flickr is evidence of such repeatable, high quality, and I would be hard-pressed to admit I am not fond of his images, regardless of our differing HDR styles. One must take a moment to appreciate the time devotion in processing effort and style development.
  
  Valerio is a great asset to the Flickr community, and a great friend."

  LucaPicciau says:

  "Spendere due parole in favore di Valerio mi pare come minimo doveroso dal momento che il suo è uno degli stream più gradevoli che abbia mai visto: creatività, ironia, originalità, tecnica, emozione e colori che si fondono dilatando i confini di quella che comunemente si definisce realtà, lasciando lo spettatore ogni volta sorpreso e contemporaneamente sospeso tra immaginazione e tangibilità.
  La qualità delle sue foto è in continua crescita, già oggi è a livelli imbarazzanti, in futuro certamente sarà ancora meglio!
  Complimenti Valerio, sei un VULCANO di idee.
  LuPi."

  Jeff Clow says:

  "Valerio is a world class photographer - and one quick look through his photostream will confirm that fact. His use of color, light and composition is as good as you'll see anywhere.
  
  But what you might not see is the time and effort that he puts into encouraging other people here at Flickr. He is a true class act and Flickr is a better place because of his presence here.
  
  I'm proud to be able to call him my friend."

  "His mastery behind the lens is evident with one glance at his photostrream, beauty beyond comparison. His unique and artistic style is one of a kind. I find his work one of the best flickr has to offer!
  Beyond that he takes the time to be generous in his comments and supportive to other flickrittes! Thanks Valpopando for sharing your beautiful Napoli with us!"

  "Valerio is an amazingly talented photographer. His Flickr stream is constantly updated with shots of incredible quality; I'm never disappointed by anything he posts and constantly blown away by most of his creations! He uses HDR to great advantage with a very unique and instantly recognisable style and quality.
  
  Keep up the fantastic work Val!"

  "Wow, wow and wow - what can I say more about valpopando's incredible artwork - it's simply too breath-taking to describe it appropriate in words. I love how he handles/applies the HDR technique on his motives.
  To be honest he was one of the reasons to look a bit more into several post-processing possibilities of my own images. I'm glad to call you a flickr friend - Great Work - thank you for sharing it to us !"

  "valerio è una forza della natura, uno spirito ribelle, corre a 1000 con lo sguardo e con la mente, sta facendo una foto ma sta già pensando che domani sarà altove. Conosco bene la sua smania solare di fare quante più cose possibili. Oggi è un concentrato di tecnica ed estro, colori e trucchi fotografici, dovrà sviscerare la tecnica HDR fino ai segreti più nascosti per poi tornare alla poesia della foto. complimenti amico mio."

  "If I chose one word to describe Valerio it would be 'inspirational'. When I see his photographs I am amazed and inspired by the skill and artistry that he has with a camera and a computer. I immediately begin to want to go out and try to take similar photos but alas I never manage to get anywhere near his level of brilliance. One day, perhaps I will take a photograph which would be worthy of being in his photostream. Until then, I will watch in awe and continue to be inspired. The best."

  "Le fotografie di Valerio sono una finestra sul mondo, una finestra che ci offre la piena bellezza dell'Italia. Attraverso il suo sguardo privilegiato ogni giorno si può verificare come il mondo di Valerio sia un mondo speciale, quello di una persona sensibile, piena di fascino e buoni sentimenti, che conquista il cuore di chi ha a che fare con lui. La mia più profonda ammirazione per una grande persona, un grande fotografo, un buon amico."

  "I first ran into Valpopando on Flickr when he was asking me about my Nikon D50. Since then, I've become a huge fan of his. Not only does he have a terrific sense of humor, he has a photostream that just can't be beat. This is a photographer with a great sense of style and the photographic skills to back it up. Not to mention a fabulous camera too! Take a look through his photostream, it's a unique view of Italy through Valpopando's eyes... a view you won't want to miss."

  "Valerio is a stud. Not only is he an Italian God, possibly of godly Roman descent, coming straight from the familial line of Romulus and Remus who sucked of the teet of the she-wolf themselves, but he is also one heck of a nice guy. His photography is inspirational and he looks at the world with a unique eye."

  "Il grande equilibrio degli scatti, il colpo d'occhio acuto, l'alta ed esperta sensibilità cromatica, nonchè quel tocco di malizia professionale che valerio mette nella scelta dei suoi soggetti la dicono lunga su di una qualità di fotografo non improvvisata ma cresciuta in famiglia e nutrita come lavoro e passione"

  "Valpopando è davvero un ottimo fotografo. Ha sia un'ottimo senso della posizione, che la fantasia nel cercare l'immagine. Denota anche un ottimo studio delle luci e una certa padronanza dei programmi di fotoritocco per ottenere degli HDR strabilianti! Assolutamente da non perdere!"
