      Dear collectors,photographers,friends,
  Luigi ("Time") started its activity on 1982, offering IN STOCK a lot of
  Leica rarities, but also Zeiss, Rollei, Hasselblad, Italian cameras,
  Leica copies. Our "old" customers are proprietors of really large
  collections, and they often give us the availability of very interesting
  photo items. Our inventory changes daily,and we can search
  cameras on special request. We also buy, obviously, and we hope
  to receive your offers of interesting cameras, lenses, accessories.
  Please, send by e-mail your seeking list or offers.

I am the happy child in the water,1943, then, 1950, my 1st communion 
day. I made my first pictures since 1948, as a young Boy Scout, with 
a simple "Leica copy" (a destiny ?) named Klein, that my father 
presented to me for my 7th birthday, probably unaware to plan my 
future as a... PHOTOGRAPHER - The "Klein" camera, despite his 
German name, was made in Roma, too... A my recent picture with Pat...

Yes, at 9/10 years old, I was already always wearing my little camera, the "Klein" (Italian), pictures here below 
In this old picture I see: my beloved dad Renzo (right), my school close friend Luigi Perrone (Relli), his sister Vittoria (with glasses), standing on the 
left the expert tractor driver Umberto Profili, seated at the tractor (MY own tractor American, Oliver!) a friend of my family, the antiquarian Lucio Del Re, 
and always walking around us, my sweet dog, Jack ! At the time, I was working, too, as a tractor driver, day and night, helping my father, when 
in the Summer (and any other time) I was free from my school duties... I still love the agriculture, not only the sea 
at that time, our Oliver tractor was the largest in the Viterbo Province ! (Tuscia...) And, at 20 years old...


Ah, here my other tractor in the early sixtie's ! A RED Nuffield. Not a my own picture, but I was WORKING with it a lot, when I was a TEENager !
