The idea of creating a website for Sandro Martini came about during a conversation with my friend Rita, his wife, in the course of a hot summer evening on a flight from Rome taking us, tired out, to Milan. We agreed on the idea and we thought we could try to do something to take Sandro on Internet: on one side we got Sandro and the Arts, on the other Marco and Internet After a couple of exploratory meetings between Sandro and Marco we began to work on the project: the idea was the creation of a site which would become a reference point for the art of Sandro Martini and, at the same time, a meeting place between Sandro and all those, collectors or simply the curious alike, interested in opening an dialogue with the artist. Aware of the impossibility of featuring a painter's work in one media, whether a book or in this case, a website, we had to make choices and syntheses which, as such, are always open to criticism: we wanted to talk about the work and also of the artist, of art but also of a dream… We trust that it has been successful: however the spirit of the venture is that of “work in progress” and therefore changes, additions, transformations will always be possible (and no doubt favoured by many…).
