Ludovico Maria Gilberti

I was born (1951), lived and lives in Monza (Milan) Italy.
They say about me:
Gilberti first developed a love for photography in his university days, when he used to paint with oil colours, while also cultivating an interest in black and white photographs and their development. At this time he felt an irresistible attraction for the first SLR reflex cameras, as well as home-made development and printing.
