1. BIOGRAPHY
My real name is (in italiano: "è") Enrico Dalbosco, while Arrigo Silva is my nickname in the world of 3D modeling, a high-sounding name vaguely Spanish-like, hanged me for fun from my sister Lucia: Arrigo is similar to Enrico where Silva is the Latin term for "bosco". In short, a name appropriate to an Ancient Errant Knight, but with a hint of irony... I was born in '46 in the mountains, in Rovereto (Trento), but my second home is Padua, an ancient medieval town nestled in the beautiful misty solar flat Po Valley. In Padua I came to college, in Padua I met and married Luciana, in Padua our son was born, and near Padua is our home and the garden that Luciana cultivate with passion. Degree in Electronic Engineering in 1964, I worked with passion in the field of information management until 2005 and even today I like to create websites (preferably with artistic theme and content) for family and friends. I like all the arts, particularly music, painting, architecture and photography. I play the piano as a willing and enthusiastic amateur and face with courage and boldness the scores of Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Debussy... In painting I feel an instrinctive attraction for the Macchiaioli and the Impressionists - every now and then I jot down some drawing or some watercolor. As for the architecture, I like the churches and ancient villas created by great architects but also by master builders who knew love and recreate the beauty and harmony of proportions - since few years I produce their 3D virtual models, trying to capture the "genius loci" - if I did it you can judge by visiting my blog.

3. PCWORLD
The prestigious magazine online pcworld.com reported 2 of my models among the 10 most interesting models of the year (see 10 Amazing Google SketchUp Buildings): this is the model of the beautiful Orthodox "Spilled Blood" Cathedral in St. Petersburg and of the futuristic swivel tower designed by architect David Fisher set to become one of the "icons" of Dubai.

5. A BOOK
A very interesting book in Italian Language on SketchUp shows, in the "Italian modellers and online resources", my in depth profile with pictures of my models and an interview in which I talk about my approach to 3D modeling and the criteria that have inspired me and my working methods.

MY 3D CERAMIC MODELS
My passion for 3D models began many years ago when I made the first "tangible"" models in ceramics. Small landscapes, populated by houses churches castles... landscapes in miniature, with hills, mountains, fields molded in white ceramic and painted by hand: my website "Poetic landscapes" (Paesi e poesie) will allow you to look closely at many of my models and will introduce you to interesting construction details.

THE FASCINATING ETHCINGS OF LUCIANA ECCHIOTTI
To my wife Luciana I dedicated a website where you can read her writings on plants, browse the flowers and the trees in our garden and enjoy her fascinating engravings: her favorite themes are the flowers, which she is able to represent with their particular atmosphere - recently, on the occasion of the centenary of the death of the great Italian poet G. Pascoli (1857-1912) she created a series of etchings inspired by the "Flowers in the poems of Giovanni Pascoli" (Fiori nelle poesie di Giovanni Pascoli). Treat yourself to a break of poetry visiting the website I dedicated to her poetical creations!

THE BRIGHT WATERCOLORS OF GUIDO VETTORAZZO
Passionate Alpino (Italian alpine trooper), dynamic professor of drawing and technical applications, journalist, writer, engaged in the civic administration of Rovereto (TN), my Uncle Guido Vettorazzo is also a talented painter who painted watercolors full of charm that you can see in the gallery that I have dedicated to him.

THE LIVELY POEMS OF GABRIELLA PAOLETTI
Was born in Recanati, the birthplace of G. Leopardi, our friend Gabriella Paoletti: she has poetry in blood and writing in verse, in Italian and even more in the "Marche" dialect, is for her spontaneous and natural almost like... breathe. Visiting the site that I realized for her you can know and appreciate her poems illustrated by fine drawings of artist friends.

NTHE GAME OF FIFTEEN (BUT ALSO ELEVEN, FIVE, ...)
An ancient game, very popular in the 50s, made for putting a strain on the patience of young and old: here the luck had nothing to do, we wanted manual but also strategy and tactics... especially when it came to the "fatal" last line!
As a child I have enjoyed playing with it, and now even I enjoyed creating a computerized version, and while I was there, I did some variation on the theme, using "chessboard" bigger or even smallish and rectangular: it is reborn GAME OF FIFTEEN, but also OF ELEVEN, OF FIVE... and more. You can try them all, in more or less easy version, and you can play for free and maybe establish your "personal best" (at the end of the game you'll know how many moves and how long did it take); you will not win anything, but... attention, if you lose too much time do not come to complain to me!
