Review by Stefania Biamonti

Drawing together sweeping sequences of stunning design detail with wide-open urban views, this city’s architecture offers a strikingly well preserved view of its mottled identity – one whose façade presents a visual timeline of 20th century history.
In Warsaw, the discerning eye can trace the passage of time through the progression of architectural styles on display, all markedly different one from the other. Indeed, Warsaw is home to an extensive amalgam of forms, lines and colours that are not necessarily compatible with each other in any respect.
It is precisely within this striking play of contrasts that Santioli’s work, an ode to the Polish capital, finds its creative origins.In some images, the grand buildings of yesteryear, most belonging to the city’s communist era, jostle for attention with modern-era structures, with both stubbornly trying to assert their relevance.
Meanwhile, in others, contemporary design and dashes of urban influence place their stamp of supremacy squarely on the city.In still other images, notions of past and present coexist in absolute harmony, not unlike an old couple that has grown accustomed to each others’ eccentricities.
