Condolences to the family and a loss to the rest of us…

That is so sad to hear. His artistry on steel is world class and inspirational as are many of the Italian engravers. I still browse through his book published by Blue Book Publications. He will always be remembered through his work. What a life!!

I visdited his studio in 2005 with the GRS team. He was a wonderful host and an outstanding engraver.

I visited Gianfranco's studio with Scott Pilkington and the late Steve Fjestad in 2011. It was an unforgettable experience.

Rest in peace Maestro.

VERY SAD… NICE MAN
Welcomed me into his home - He and his wife were great hosts. His works as he had shown me were incredible - Needless to say he was extremely talented, humble, but yet still very proud - as deserved to be.
RIP and God Bless
