Last summer during my holidays I met those two Angel's faces right in the same place and at the same time! Pareidolically speaking, I recognize in the traits of the putto bust those of the young man that I saw close by this statue and or viceversa :-)
Left: Arch. Dario Perrone, architect and lyric tenor.
Right: Baroque bust of putto in stone and plaster, carved and hand painted placed at the side altarpiece dating back to the 17th Ct., situated in the Parrosh church of a village in Southern Italy, Puglia Region.
The occasion was a ceremony in devotion to the patron Saint of the little town (San Donato).
I heard Dario singing as soloist in the church choir before seeing him, amazed by his celestial voice... Later on I met him in the village square and asked him if he would have liked to be portrayed. He accepted with pleasure giving me permission of publication too.
Differently from what people may believe to be the average appearance of the "typical" southern Italian, South Italy is full of native inhabitants who can quietly eradicate this inconsistent cliché of ppl with very tanned or olive skin, dark hair and black eyes.
As a matter of fact, it's full of blond people with green or blue eyes, lol. This said, not to diminish the splendour & beauty of the Mediterraneans that can be more tanned and have darker hair but, if you will visit Italy, you will understand by yourself :-)
I think I may share more portraits of Dario in the future...
Coming back to this diptych, reviewing my photos taken that day, a certain parallelism appeared to me rather glaring ...or, maybe, it's just my imagination; nontheless, it appeals to me.
I been in the mountains today and I took some strange photos, can't wait to upload them!
Therefore, I'm a lil late but, anyway, I wish you a great Happyphany!

Portraiture shooting with Dario.
I've uploaded it in super HQ , 42MB, 16.829 x 5752 pixels... Let's see what happens and how it can be zoomed (or not) when uploaded...
Up-dated Jan.13 : I replaced this photo above with a better edit in a smaller size at 4096x1400 2,6MB but 300dpi instead of 150dpi (The previous heavier and more HQ upload wouldn't help neither in a better visualization nor in a higher zoomability that,by very large pics like diptychs or panos, would remain the same i.e. minimal).
