										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;Woman is the future of man.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Differently from what sustains the poet Aragon, wisdom requires to recognize that, in the dawn of the third millennium, the saying &#8220;weaker sex&#8221; has become true for humans and is one of the weakest values of Western society.<br />
Breaking away from the eternal clichés they see in you, the only aspects of grace, elegance, and the main power to give birth, the woman never ends to surprise, revealing the unthinkable skills, developing of untold capabilities.<br />
The modern woman dares and convinces, appropriating a role in fallocratica culture centuries had been disqualified.<br />
A fantastic and interesting evolution of which, the goal of Graziano Villa, after twenty years, wants to give a testimony.<br />
privileged observer of this situation, the Genoese photographer, makes a tribute to the woman and her essence. His photographs describe a changing world, capturing natural grace and tell the new development of women. Some famous women, other more anonymous, one day or the other will gain power, shine as a manager, discover opinion leaders, to excel in the arts and culture, all united by the same desire to do that, both their ability and their talent, the word &#8220;woman&#8221;.<br />
Thirty &#8220;to FEMALE PORTRAITS&#8221;, is the theme of the exhibition of Villa Graziano, of which the author wants to make the mirror of the challenge is always between the photographer and his people photographed.<br />
It &#8216;a challenge to which we have given willingly, Margherita Agnelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Alt, Melba Ruffo di Calabria, Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti, Jetsum Pema sister of the Dalai Lama and many others from the world of entertainment, politics, culture and industry.<br />
Photos taken with different techniques: moving, posing, snapshots or moments chosen with almost surgical care, where the talent of Graziano Villa becomes the bearer of the quotation by Bernard Henri Levy:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Et si l&#8217;avenir de l&#8217;homme devait dependre un jour de la femme &#8230;&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">“</span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="it-IT">La donna è il futuro dell&#8217;uomo”.</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Differentemente da quello che sostiene il poeta Aragon, la saggezza impone di riconoscere quanto, a l&#8217;alba del terzo millennio, il detto “sesso debole” è divenuto valido anche per l&#8217;uomo e rappresenta uno dei valori più deboli della società occidentale.</span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Staccandosi dagli eterni clichés che vedono in Lei, i soli aspetti della grazia, dell&#8217;eleganza, e la facoltà principale di figliare, la Donna non finisce più di sorprendere, rivelando delle doti impensabili, sviluppando delle capacità inconfessate.</span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">La Donna moderna osa e convince, appropriandosi di un ruolo che nei secoli di cultura fallocratica gli era stato interdetto.</span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Una fantastica e interessante evoluzione di cui, l&#8217;obbiettivo di Graziano Villa, dopo vent&#8217;anni, vuole dare una testimonianza. </span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Osservatore privilegiato di questa situazione, il fotografo genovese, rende un omaggio alla donna e alla sua essenza. Le sue foto descrivono un mondo che cambia, catturano la grazia naturale e raccontano il nuovo sviluppo del mondo femminile. Alcune donne conosciute, altre più anonime, un giorno o l&#8217;altro potranno ottenere il potere, brillare come manager, scoprirsi opinion-leader, eccellere nelle arti e nella cultura, tutte unite dalla medesima volontà di fare rispettare, per la loro capacità e il loro talento, la parola “Donna”. </span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trenta “RITRATTI al FEMMINILE”, sono il tema della mostra di Graziano Villa, di cui l&#8217;autore vuole farne lo specchio della sfida che c&#8217;è sempre tra il fotografo e i suoi personaggi fotografati.</span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">E&#8217; una sfida alla quale si sono prestate volentieri, Margherita Agnelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Alt, Melba Ruffo di Calabria, Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti, Jetsum Pema la sorella del Dalai Lama e molte altre provenienti del mondo dello spettacolo, della politica, della cultura e dell&#8217;industria.</span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Foto realizzate con tecniche diverse : in movimento, in posa, istantanee o momenti scelti con cura quasi chirurgica, dove il talento di Graziano Villa si fa portatore della citazione di Bernard Henri Lévy: </span></p>
<p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">“</span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="it-IT">Et si l&#8217;avenir de l&#8217;homme devait un jour dependre de la femme&#8230;”.</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Press release</strong></p>
<p><strong>Graziano Villa on display at the Yacht Club Milano with the most famous women in the World from Ella Fitzgerald to Agnelli.</strong><br />
<strong>Entertainment, culture and all the female political.</strong></p>
<p>The inauguration of the exhibition &#8216;Portraits Feminine&#8217; photographer Graziano Villa is scheduled for Thursday, April 9, in Piazzale Baiamonti, 4 in Milan. The exhibition, hosted by the Yacht Club Milano, will be open to the public from April 9 to May 27, every day from 21.00 to 23.00.<br />
Milan, April 2, 2009 &#8211; In the scenario of the Yacht Club Milano, exhibits his shots Graziano Villa, of Genoese origin photographer who began his career with photojournalism, successively dealing with fashion and still life to arrive, finally, to portraiture.<br />
Subject of the exhibition, &#8220;Portraits Feminine&#8221;, familiar faces of famous women of Italian and international scene. About 30 shots ranging from Margherita Agnelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Alt, Melba Ruffo di Calabria, Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti, Jetsum Pema (sister of the Dali Lama) and many others from the world of entertainment, politics, culture and industry .</p>
<p>She is the only star of this exhibition, in which Villa offers its subjects in all their spontaneity taking in these figures of women, well known and famous each in its own sphere, those qualities of character which made them the success icons . In these shots the public persona, then, is wisely mixed with the private sector, women managers, singers, educated intellectuals, through the portrait, in their innermost essence, the one that has made their most famous statement.</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;With these portraits I wanted to grasp the inherent challenge &#8211; says Graziano Villa &#8211; that is created between the&#8221; portrait &#8220;and the character she has portrayed herself, which consists in knowing how to seize those features, those expressions and those poses that made these unique women in their context and in &#8216;immortalize all these characteristics in a single shot. &#8220;</em></strong></p>

<p align="justify"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><i>L’inaugurazione della mostra ‘Ritratti al Femminile’ del fotografo Graziano Villa è prevista per giovedì 9 aprile, in Piazzale Baiamonti, 4 a Milano. L’esposizione, ospitata dallo Yacht Club Milano, sarà aperta al pubblico dal 9 aprile al 27 maggio, tutti i giorni dalle ore 21.00 alle ore 23.00. </i></span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><i>Milano, 02 aprile 2009 </i></span></span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">– Nello scenario dello Yacht Club Milano, espone i propri scatti Graziano Villa, fotografo di origine genovese che ha iniziato la propria carriera con il fotogiornalismo, occupandosi successivamente di moda e still life per approdare, infine, alla ritrattistica. </span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">Soggetto della mostra, “Ritratti al Femminile”, noti volti di donne famose del panorama italiano e internazionale. Circa 30 scatti che spaziano da Margherita Agnelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Alt, Melba Ruffo di Calabria, Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti, Jetsum Pema (sorella del Dali Lama) e tante altre provenienti dal mondo dello spettacolo, della politica, della cultura e dell’industria. </span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">La donna è l’unica protagonista di questa rassegna, in cui Villa propone i suoi soggetti in tutta la loro spontaneità cogliendo in queste figure di donne, così conosciute e famose ciascuna nel proprio ambito, quelle peculiarità caratteriali che le hanno rese delle icone di successo. In questi scatti il personaggio pubblico, quindi, viene sapientemente mischiato con quello privato, donne manager, cantanti, intellettuali colte, attraverso il ritratto, nella loro essenza più intima, quella che ha decretato la loro più nota affermazione.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span style="color: #003366;">“</span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><i>Con questi ritratti ho voluto cogliere quella sfida intrinseca</i></span></span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"> – afferma </span></span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">Graziano Villa </span></span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">&#8211; </span></span><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><i>che si crea tra il</i></span></span> <span style="color: #003366;"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><i>“ritrattista” e il personaggio che si fa ritrarre, che consiste nel saper cogliere quei lineamenti, quelle espressioni e quelle pose che hanno reso queste donne uniche nel loro ambito e nell’ immortalare tutte queste loro caratteristiche in un unico scatto.” </i></span></span></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;&#8230; SAILING &#8230;&#8221; &#8211; through different oceans &#8211;</h3>
<p>Why &#8220;&#8230; SAILING …&#8221; ? Because many times we said or heard words like &#8220;&#8230; the Sea of Life &#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;&#8230; the &#8216;Ocean of Existence &#8230;&#8221;, and then is it not appropriate to say &#8220;&#8230; Navigating the Sea of Life&#8230; &#8220;when are we crossing our existences ?<br />
Are we or not the &#8220;sailors&#8221; when we are facing our &#8220;sea of problems&#8221; ?<br />
Cross the &#8220;Ocean of&#8217; Existence&#8221; is not very different from face a real sea route.<br />
We&#8217;re the skipper of our lives and inside of our &#8220;existential shells&#8221; we take routes that intersect other skippers on other shells.<br />
That&#8217;s what Graziano Villa made !<br />
His &#8220;shell&#8221;, his boat was his camera and he, as a good skipper, led her through &#8220;different oceans&#8221;, several fields of photography.<br />
Among these, the one that involved him much more, in which he &#8220;sailed the most far and wide&#8221;, undoubtedly, it&#8217;s the portrait field.<br />
For over twenty years he created portraits of Culture, Economy, Finance, Politics, of Visual Arts Personalities, facing the &#8220;stormy&#8221; situation many times !<br />
It&#8217;s not easy to manage Captains of Industry, Helmsmen of Art and put them on a common route and row together to get a good result: a beautiful portrait!<br />
They are not easy people. They haven&#8217;t a lot of time and are not very inclined to pose in front of a camera lens.<br />
Despite these &#8220;signs of the storm,&#8221; Graziano Villa has faced and made hundreds of portraits always managing the situation to contextualize the featured character, to give effect, creating an image that would be exactly the personality and its function.<br />
Without forgetting the rules of the  &#8220;photos container&#8221;: the Magazine.<br />
Essentially, to paraphrase the sailor jargon, Villa with its &#8220;ship-magazine&#8221;, brought the &#8220;castaway-personalities&#8221; to touch the ground.<br />
Why the &#8221; MILAN YACHT CLUB &#8221; as the place of his exhibition ?<br />
Because, as the members of the YCM, navigators and sailors with the passion of the Sea, also Graziano Villa and many of his personalities, have a passion for challenges.<br />
A boat, a good crew, a commander, they must be always ready for the unexpected in the everyday life of their professions.<br />
It is not a coincidence that many of them are excellent navigators.<br />
So, which better context in which organizing the exhibition of his portraits if not &#8220;YACHT<br />
CLUB MILAN &#8221; where we have Captains of Industry and Vessels?</p>
<p class="western" align="center">“…<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NAVIGANDO…” – attraverso oceani diversi &#8211;</b></span></p>
<p class="western">Perché “…NAVIGANDO…”, perché molte volte abbiamo detto o sentito frasi come “…il Mare della Vita&#8230;”, “…l’ Oceano dell’Esistenza…”, e allora non è forse appropriato dire “…Navigando il Mare della Vita..” quando attraversiamo la nostra Esistenza? Non siamo forse dei “Navigatori “ quando affrontiamo un “mare di problemi” ?  Attraversare “l’ Oceano dell’ Esistenza” non è molto diverso dall’ affrontare una vera rotta marina.  Siamo gli skipper delle nostre vite e sui nostri “gusci esistenziali” prendiamo rotte che intersecano altri skipper su altri gusci.  Graziano Villa questo ha fatto !  Il suo “guscio”, la sua barca è stata la macchina fotografica e lui, da buon skipper, l’ha condotta attraverso “diversi oceani”, diversi settori della fotografia.  Tra questi, quello che più lo ha coinvolto, in cui ha “navigato più in lungo e in largo”, è senz’altro il Ritratto.  Per più di vent’anni ha realizzato Ritratti di Personaggi della Cultura, dell’Economia, Finanza, Politica, delle Arti figurative affrontando anche situazione “burrascose” !  Non è per niente facile dirigere Capitani d’Industria, Timonieri dell’ Arte per metterli su una comune rotta e remare insieme per ottenere un ottimo risultato : un bel Ritratto !  Non sono persone facili. Non hanno molto tempo e non sono molto inclini a posare davanti ad un obiettivo fotografico.  Nonostante queste “avvisaglie di tempesta”, Graziano Villa ha affrontato e realizzato centinaia di Ritratti riuscendo sempre a contestualizzare il Personaggio di turno, a dare senso, attraverso la creazione di un’immagine che ne rendesse esattamente la personalità e la sua funzione.  Senza dimenticare l’esigenze del “contenitore della foto/messaggio” : la Rivista.  In sostanza, per parafrasare il gergo marinaresco, con la sua “nave/rivista” ha portato il “personaggio/naufrago” di turno, a toccare terra.  Perché lo “YACHT CLUB MILANO” come sede della sua Mostra?  Perché, come i Soci dello YCM, Navigatori con la passione del Mare, anche Graziano Villa e molti dei suoi Personaggi, hanno la passione per le sfide. Una barca, un buon equipaggio, un comandante, devono essere sempre pronti ad affrontare gli imprevisti nella quotidianità dello loro professioni.  Non a caso molti di loro sono eccellenti Navigatori.  Allora, quale contesto migliore dove realizzare la Mostra dei suoi Ritratti se non lo “YACHT CLUB di MILANO” dove abbiamo Capitani d’ Industria e di Vascelli?</p>
