The painting of Mariano Franzetti has Renaissance origins, interpreting figurative art in modern key, with contemporary subjects belonging to a real world such as dreaming world. Many of the players remember his hometown, with bright colors or scenes of everyday life scenarios taken from Buenos Aires.
