Pisa Gallery - Four-Star Award - 1997
In February, 1997, a single piece of his fine art nude photography was selected for exhibition
at the prestigious Pisa Gallery in Pisa, Italy. Only 26 images were selected for display from
over 5,500 entries. In the final judging, the 1997 Five-Star Award (best of show) went to a
renowned New York photographer. Previously an "unknown" in international fine art
competition, Allio's nude portrait artwork earned the Four-Star Award. Since the Italian contest
and exhibition, Allio has received invitations to display his nudes at galleries and museums
throughout Europe. This artwork was one element in the ten-image "Portraits of Lisa
Collection."
