My very good friend of over 30 years, Jebila, an artist based in Rome, introduced me to Cristallo Odescalchi. Jebila insisted I check out Cristallo’s space and shoot him for “Where They Create.” I’m glad I did because Cristallo’s work is striking and iconic. In the photos, you’ll see Jebila too. Cristallo has a ‘artist’s run space’ in Palazzo Odescalchi, one of his family’s palazzos, where Jebila participated in a group show. We also had lunch at a traditional Romano Trattoria near Cristallo’s studio. The rich history of Rome greatly influences artists like Cristallo and Jebila.
