In few hours
2020 will end.
For sure 2020 had been hard for all of us, "
Annus horribilis " in latin words.
Onestly I never thought I'd live a year like this.
On 2020 my very last thoughts were about collecting prehistoric figures.
I stopped collecting for months: simply it didn't seem right to me while people around were dying.
So, even if 2020 was "poor" from a collecting point of view, I'll try to describe it through the few figures I found and images I took.

Personally I was coming from a great 2019, full of good memories:
On
December 2019 I was at New York, visiting the NY Natural History Museum too:
On
January 2020 I received one of the best statue in my collection, from my friend at Dinosaur Darkroom Market:
On
February 2020 I was shooting over the Alps when there were first news about Covid-19 in a small town not so far from Milano
At that time I wasn't aware that Sars-Cov2 was so dangerous; stupidly I thought that China was overreacting about that..
On the same month I was lucky to find some really good pieces (mainly on
Urzeitshop):
Even new Safari were easily available in Europe:
On
March 2020 the virus started to spread all over my Country.
I had a special permit to shoot in Venezia; I remember that Piazza San Marco in Venice was spectral, without all the people..
On
mid-March 2020 there was a total lock-down in Italy: everyone had to stay at home.
The lock-down was from
March to June: it was really hard..
During lock-down period my work had a stop: no clients at all (for safety, good reasons)..
I completely
stopped collecting on those months.
So I decided to
re-organize my all collection:
At the
end of June the total lock-down stopped and people were able to go outside with lots of precautions (facial masks, social distancing, etc..).
On
June/July my work started again.
I found some interesting models too
On
August, after 4 months of total lock-down at home, I felt the need for a free time/vacation into fresh air and I went to my beloved Sardegna (Sardinia):
On
September bad news: Covid-19 started to spread again in Italy..
On
October there was a "soft" lock-down and I was able to work (a lot..
).
I mainly bought CollectA:
On
November there were first news about a vaccine for Covid-19 and it was great
Even some good surprises from China:
December was totally about
PNSO
..and what about
January 2021 ? We will see.. I really hope things will be better than 2020 (..because
I don't think it could be worst than 2020 
)
Happy New Year to Everyone on
DTF and
STAY SAFEKind Regards
