The Jury

Chiara Curto

Chiara Curto.

Deep conoisseur of Venice and the Venitian culture and lifestyle, passionate of photography, and a row champion, Chiara in one of the 2 women authorized to provide gondola service. She can be seen in her typical uniform rowing her boat, which is called sandolo (very similar to the gondola, but of older origin).
Chiara is a non conventional guide to the less known Serenissima, introducing visitors of all nationalities to the exploration of the minor canals in Cannaregio.
Born in Genoa, like most “foresti” living in Venice she is a very fond defender of the city.

Lorenzo Mullon.

Another unconventional conoisseur of Venice, and another foresto, Lorenzo has made of poetry his way of life, sharing his views with people of all cultures. Walking the calli and campielli of Venice, he offers his rhymes, and is often invited to international poetry meetings, and he has received several awards.  He is also a painter and an experienced photographer, specialist in photographing butterflies, as they – for some unknown reason – love to take a rest on his fingers. Maybe because he speaks to them?

Paola Ravizza

Paola Ravizza.

A professional journalist with various experiences, from corporate communications to travel journalism,  and  television storytelling. Tightrope walker of the thought and of the written word, Ravizza translates her visions into  short stories and poems – so intimate that she prefers not to publish them.  For the same reason, in her resume she does not mention some skill in drawing and painting.  An absolute lover of photography.

Milvia Turrini, tautological portrait of foresta (“foresta” meaning both “forest” and “non Venetian”).

Milvia Turrini.

Born into a family with a high concentration of artists, she was struck by Venice at the age of two, and by music at the age of three. As a result, she followed a career as costume designer, applied musicologist, painter and photographer – always drawing special inspiration from Nature. She strongly believes in self healing, and in the power of  a good laugh.
