The holy knight Sir Galahad, sword in one hand, cross in the other, holds the cross aloft before Beelzebub, who has taken the form of a red demonic horse with flaring yellow eyes, with tendrils coiling from his torso as he rears up before Galahad.

Sir Galahad versus Beelzebub in the form of a horse, based on a scene from the Cantare of Hector and Morgan, which I drew and painted back in November

A selfie I took in front of the Castello del Buonconsiglio (the main and most photogenic facade within the complex). I'm smiling at the camera and exposed to the rain, with a black jacket that is getting wet.

The lateral part of the castle's facade, looking up to the grey skies.

A view of Trento and the Alps from the balcony in the castle. The colorful city spreads across the plain and is enclosed by forested mountains covered in clouds and fog.

A picture inside the conference room where the congress took place. The image is focused on a piece of paper I'm holding that contains the song "Si·l monz fondes a maravilla gran" by Bertolome Zorzi". In the background (blurred) is the speakers' table with the projection screen.
