About the Artist
Self-taught painter. After finishing his higher studies in Electrical Engineering, he decides to leave his job and dedicate himself entirely to painting. His work is part of three tendencies, from the abstract as a search for his deepest self, the landscape as an expression of his relationship with nature, and psychic structuralism as a link with perceived reality. In the most recent works the figure of the human being disappears but he relates the psyche to the ingredients of the most elemental reality.

Tenuta Amadio was born with the noble intention of his first founder, Amadio Rech, who started to cultivate a piece of land in Asolo. Today the estate has 3 vineyards from which 3 different types of wine are obtained, that reflect the variety of the territory.
Sustainable agriculture is practiced in the vineyard, because it is important to preserve the land in order to be able to give it fertile to subsequent generations, just as Silvia and Simone, the second generation of Rech, inherited it. The excellence of the grapes is preserved in the processes in the cellar, where they are used almost exclusively from our land.

Perfectly integrated into the Montello landscape, protected by landscape restrictions, the cellar reproduces the natural course of our hills. Located in the center of the Sienna Estate, a few steps from the Abbey of Sant’Eustachio, it is developed on five floors dug into the ground. Designed by the architect Armando Guizzo, it perfectly embodies the corporate values: respect for nature, environmental, social and economic sustainability, care for the beautiful and the good and the culture of hospitality. The whole structure has been designed to offer the visitor a real journey into the world of wine that begins at the driveway immersed in the property’s vineyards.

About the Artist
His work can be called figurative, looking for a world behind reality, the intangible. To the life behind the curtain that you have no control over. In his words: “While painting I come across things that lift a veil but still remain elusive. It can be of all times, present, past, but also the world different from ours. Color is important, for me color has an emotional value, it determines the path your feeling takes. My paintings are often large in size, I also feel in my element on a small size. Lately I’ve been using stones in my paintings. This is the result of my fascination with stones that I found on the heath.”
