ReplyDeleteYou too, stay safe!
DeleteOne day I will get to Italy and see his work first hand! How far you actually from Italy? Can you go there and send us some videos? :)
ReplyDeleteNot far, they're just across the Adriatic sea, we often have bus tours which circle around Austria, Italy, Monaco and Spain, but I've never had the time nor someone to go with.
Deletevery good trailer...

Be welcome, glad you liked it.

ReplyDeleteThey even used the rock for the sets from the quarry he used too back in the days.
