Giampietro Mattolin

Giampietro Mattolin, photographer (www.fotomattolin.it) and traveler for over 30 years always looks for the "click" in a travel experience. He looks for the contrast between light and shadow in landscapes,  people and situations,  capturing the essence of details.

In 2005 he won the "de Pisis" prize at the International Exhibition of Contemporary Art "Landscapes" in Ferrara.
In 2006 he published the book "Himalaya - places spiritual culture", with text by writer and journalist Piero Verni.
In 2007 he published the book "MUSTANG - One step from Heaven", a photo guide with texts by journalist Florence Auriemma and foreword by Piero Verni.
On the same year he exhibited in the context of the Palladian Villa Caldogno, a personal exibition, dedicated to the elderly. It's title was "Parallel Lives". This exibition revived in 2008 under the 6th edition of "Ethical-mind" of a Cintello Teglio Veneto (VE).

In 2000 he founded the association "HERITAGE - beyond borders" (www.heritage-oltreiconfini.org) to promote the spreading of creative expressions from different origins but, beyond communication, the association wants to turn the interest around every cultural event into a concrete support.

The theme of sustainable development is central in the projects of the association, that looks to a community and its culture, especially it regards ethnic minorities with a cultural heritage under threat of disappearing or it is passing through important transitions that need intercultural exchanges.

The support wants to become action also making an offer of travel (www.travelsoul.net) regarsing the project the Association wants to support.
