About The Brand
The Project “Pixel Photo Magazine“
The Pixel Photo Magazine project was born in a singular context, where the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, despite their harshness, become fertile ground for an idea of union and connection. In 2019, during a period of forced isolation, while the world seemed to slow down, paradoxically, it is precisely in that silence that the deepest reflections emerge. The frenzy of everyday life, the aimless races, the uncertainties of the future: everything stops, yet this void invites deep introspection. Many of us begin to look inside ourselves, to rediscover dormant passions and desires, seeking new ways to connect, to explore our inner selves and to feel part of something bigger.
In this moment of collective introspection, technology, which had previously accentuated physical distance, becomes the tool to overcome emotional and social barriers. It is in this new virtual dimension that the Pixel Photo Magazine Facebook group takes shape. The call of photography, an art that has always united people through images and narratives, makes its way through the pages of a social network, becoming the starting point for the creation of a sharing space. The idea is simple, but ambitious: to create a community in which every individual, regardless of origin or culture, can express themselves through the art of photography.
The first members are not long in coming. The group’s members grow rapidly, attracted by the desire to share and explore creativity. But, as often happens when a project is destined to expand, the group feels the need for a further step, a more solid structure that can enhance individual talents and offer them a visible space in the world. Thus was born the idea of transforming the group into an online magazine, a virtual place that not only collects photographs, but elevates them, offering each artist the opportunity to emerge and reach a wider audience. The creation of a website becomes the engine that supports and spreads the project’s message, giving life to an interactive and dynamic platform.
Today, Pixel Photo Magazine is a constantly evolving reality. Every day, new talents emerge and the network expands. What began as a small virtual group has transformed into a growing global community, with the hope of continuing to make photography not only an art, but a means to unite people, stimulate reflection and create a sense of belonging that transcends individuality. And while the network develops and enriches itself, everything else is “In Progress”: the beauty of a project in constant evolution, where each step is an opportunity to discover new horizons and new possibilities.
The Project “Visio Mentis“
The next step after the magazine experience is the creation of an event that realizes the visionary idea of multi-ethnic aggregation: the International Photography Exhibition “Visio Mentis“.
A natural extension of the online magazine Pixel Photo Magazine, the exhibition promotes a universal language contained in a simple word: “Inclusiveness“. In a socio-cultural context in which divisions between peoples seem to be accentuated, “Visio Mentis” brings together and unites traditions, customs and thoughts, using the powerful communication of images.
“Visio Mentis” is not a simple collection of photographs, but an open window on different realities, on human experiences that narrate moments of pure beauty and deep reflection. Each image is a unique narrative, a work that brings with it a perspective, an emotion, a vision of the world that intertwines with the traditions and personal styles of the photographers. The photographs tell stories that go beyond geographical and cultural boundaries, highlighting the beauty that surrounds us and that often escapes distracted glances. The technical skill of photographers merges with their ability to capture the infinite nuances of life.
The exhibition is an invitation to celebrate the diversity and creativity of our planet. In an increasingly interconnected world, photography has the power to break down barriers, uniting people and allowing them to see the world through different eyes. A universal art that invites us to discover new points of view and pay homage to beauty in all its forms. “Visio Mentis” offers the opportunity to explore and immerse yourself in the universal language of photography, a language that speaks to everyone, without words, but with an intensity capable of touching the heart and soul.
“Visio Mentis” welcomes stories and emotions through the images of photographers, with a particular focus on the power of the image as a tool for reflection and change. The exhibition is not just an artistic showcase, but a meeting point, a way to celebrate the beauty of diversity, the power of sharing and the universality of the language of the heart.
Marcello Pitardi
In 1984, during a period of work transition, Marcello discovered photography, an encounter that would mark the beginning of a profound and lasting artistic journey. His passion for this visual art sprouted within the walls of the photography studio of a dear photographer friend, where the magic of analog photography, in particular the ritual of developing images, captured him with an irresistible charm. His innate curiosity pushed him to explore constantly evolving visual languages and to embrace photography as a powerful narrative tool. This passion transformed him into a dreamer, an explorer of reality, always seeking to understand its evolutionary processes. For Marcello, photography becomes not only a language, but a way of facing life, a means of telling stories and emotions that leave subtle and indelible traces.
His training is rooted in reportage photography, dedicating himself to the most heartfelt and significant events of his land. The anniversaries of a territory deeply tied to traditions become moments of sharing and returning to the origins. Aspromonte, the villages of the lower Ionian, the upper Tyrrhenian, the Presila, are the places where emotion becomes a shot, where every landscape and every face tells a story.
His artistic vision materializes in the desire to free himself from predefined patterns, to give space to emotions and creativity. Each shot becomes a fragment of life, an expression of emotions captured in time and perceived by the observer. For Marcello, photography is not only technique, but an emotional language, a way to communicate what he feels and experiences. Each photograph becomes a means to tell about himself, to guide the viewer to recognize in his own experience what is shown, allowing the mind to tell itself through images. His creations speak, observe us, and like each shot, they leave an indelible mark over time, an echo of emotions that resonates in the soul of the viewer.
In addition to reportage, Marcello also dedicates himself to landscape photography, capturing the majesty and wild beauty of his land. His shots become a tribute to nature, an invitation to contemplate its greatness and to respect its fragility. His artistic research also extends to portrait photography, where he tries to reveal the soul of his subjects, to capture their inner essence. Each face becomes a landscape to explore, a world of emotions to tell.
Marcello is a photographer who is not content to immortalize reality, but who tries to interpret it, to give it a deeper meaning. His photography is an art that speaks to the heart, that excites and invites reflection. His images are an invitation to look at the world with new eyes, to discover the beauty that hides in small things, to be moved by life.

Designer “Visio Mentis”
Nancy Casamento
Nancy Casamento was born in Cairo, Egypt, a land surrounded by the age-old charm of its pyramids, temples and timeless legends. Between the warm colors of the sunset on the Nile and the distant sounds of market voices, she grew up immersed in a world that mixes tradition and modernity, where every corner tells stories that range from the ancient to the mysterious. In this magical land, where the boundary between myth and reality seems to dissolve into the air, Nancy found the first artistic inspirations that would mark her path.
Since she was a child, her life has been marked by the sound of scissors cutting fabric and the rustle of needles that masterfully sewed fine fabrics. She grew up in a family of tailors, where the art of fashion is not just a profession, but a legacy that is passed down from generation to generation. Nancy watches with admiration her grandmother, uncles and mother who, with dedication and passion, shape fabrics into creations that tell stories.
Her curiosity and creative spirit soon emerge, fueling the desire to transform her love for fashion into a true vocation. Over the years, Nancy hones her skills, perfecting her knowledge, but always maintaining a deep connection with the roots of sartorial tradition. Her innovative spirit and her eye for detail lead her to develop an idea of fashion that is at once modern and elegant, sensual and sophisticated.
After gaining experience and developing an ever-growing love for design, she moves to Lamezia Terme, where her art meets a new dimension. In this small town in southern Italy, her vision takes shape: timeless elegance, clean lines, precious fabrics that gracefully envelop the body, creating clothes that celebrate femininity in all its power and sophistication.
Nancy is not just a designer, she is a true innovator who constantly challenges the boundaries of fashion. Each of her creations is a work of art that comes from an inner need to express beauty and personality through fabric. Her creativity knows no bounds: each dress that leaves her laboratory is the result of continuous research and a drive to surpass herself, always finding new inspirations in the places she visits, in the people she meets, in the emotions that life gives her.
Today, Nancy is a woman, a mother, a fashion artist who has won the hearts of many women, who find in her clothes a way to feel unique, elegant and self-confident. Each of her creations is a tribute to the beauty of femininity, a meeting between ancient sartorial wisdom and the vision of a future that never ceases to surprise. Her ability to always remain faithful to her passion and to continually project herself towards new challenges makes her an inspiration for anyone who believes that fashion can be a language to tell their own story.
