Leonardo da Vinci
the father of Nikola Tesla, the latter being an unparalleled genius more
Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, Massimo Venier
One of the best Italian comedy groups, at least from '95 to '02. Their latest films are quite lackluster, but they are still incredibly funny in theater. In the past, they really made people laugh a lot. Hilarious. more
monet
My favorite Impressionist painter. Absolute genius. more
Sandro Botticelli
What an artist! more
Edward Hopper
Very good. Nighthawks, immortal masterpiece of the 20th century. more
Leonardo da Vinci
This nice gentleman really tried to do just about everything; among other things, he was quite good with the brush and palette. (However, Mrs. Lisa is a bit overrated in my opinion; the dear Leo painted better things.) more
Michelangelo Buonarroti
Enormous artist, as a sculptor, above all, but also as a painter. The Sistine Chapel is without a doubt one of the most important and wonderful artistic heritages of all humanity. more
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
The Painter, the Genius. more
Salvador Dalì
Wonderful, the master of surrealism. Truly one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. The persistence of memory is unsettling in its surreal and distorted essence. more
Van Halen
Great hard-rock band, not essential, not seminal, not particularly innovative (Van Halen deserves credit for taking tapping to new heights, but he certainly didn't invent it), yet early in their career they released 2-3 truly solid hard rock albums. more
Joe Zawinul
Asshole like few. more
Marco Travaglio
A journalist with a straight back, one of the few able to worthy inherit Montanelli's legacy. If only there were more pain-in-the-neck types like him... more
Fabio Fazio
A useless host if not for the constant assists to certain politics. Deathly boring. If it weren't for the beautiful interviews that now and then he actually manages to set up. more
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Rock in every way, between blues, rock'n'roll, psychedelia, and a hint of proto-hard rock. more
The 13th Floor Elevators
One of the greatest bands of the '60s. Thank you for gifting us with psychedelia. more
Jefferson Airplane
Ah, the psychedelic San Francisco of the '60s. The Jeffersons, what can I say, an exceptional band. Four incredible albums of equal caliber from '67 to '69, then two more good works. Exceptional musicians, Grace Slick an extraordinary singer (and unbelievably hot) capable of writing a remarkable amount of masterpiece tracks. Kaukonen, an amazing guitarist. The transformation into a spaceship didn’t yield the best results. Legendary. more
The Yardbirds
Fundamentals. One of the greatest rock-blues bands of all time, they launched Clapton and especially Beck and Plant, produced wonderful records, and from their ashes, amazing bands were born. I would say that should suffice. more
Cream
5 stars for life, at least when it comes to "Fresh Cream" and especially "Disraeli Gears". I also really like "Wheels of Fire". more
