We want to commemorate the life and artistic contributions of Giuseppe Cistulli, known to his friends as “Pino“. As a real-life artist, Giuseppe shared his beautiful paintings with the virtual world of Second Life, where he was known by the pseudonym Renoir Adder. His works can be admired at Mediterraneo-OC, where a dedicated exhibition showcases his talent and passion for art.
Giuseppe’s paintings, characterized by vibrant colors and a palpable sense of positivity, have left an indelible mark on the Second Life community. Among his most celebrated works are the portraits of two beloved popes, Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis. These pieces not only capture the likeness of these influential figures but also convey a profound sense of reverence and admiration for their spiritual leadership.
It is through Giuseppe’s artistic vision that we are reminded of the power of art to transcend physical boundaries and touch the hearts and minds of individuals across the globe. His ability to infuse his paintings with warmth and optimism has brought joy to all those who have had the privilege of experiencing his work.
As we reflect on Giuseppe’s legacy, let us remember the joy he brought to the virtual world of Second Life and the lasting impression he has left on all who have encountered his art. His paintings will continue to serve as a testament to his talent and as a source of inspiration for future generations of artists and art enthusiasts.
In honoring Giuseppe Cistulli, we pay tribute to a gifted artist whose legacy will endure through the beauty and positivity he shared with the world. May his paintings continue to brighten our lives and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art to uplift and inspire.

Today I want to tell you about an exciting new event in Second Life. I just discovered a new exhibition called the Second Life Community Exhibition (SLCE), and I’m thrilled to share the details with you.
SLCE is an initiative aimed at connecting newcomers in the virtual world with the best and most active communities in Second Life. It is an exhibition space strategically located at one of the busiest and most popular starting points for newly registered Residents.
The goal of SLCE is to provide visibility and exposure to a wide range of Second Life communities right from the early stages of the new Resident journey. That’s why a key gathering spot like the Welcome Hub has been chosen to host this exhibition.
Currently, several communities are already involved, including Caledon, Bay City, Furzona, BURN2, and Virtual Ability. But the project is continuously evolving and will include more communities in the future.
If you’re curious to learn more about SLCE, I recommend watching the live streaming of the grand opening event on “Lab Gab”.
But that’s not all! The project plans to expand and include more communities soon. If you’re interested in being considered, you can fill out the application form. Space is limited, but all submissions will be reviewed.
I’m truly excited about this initiative because I believe it’s a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate the diverse communities in Second Life. Whether you’re new to the virtual world or looking for new experiences, I encourage you to visit SLCE and discover the wonders of these engaging communities.
I can’t wait to see this exhibition grow and discover even more communities involved. Stay tuned for updates on Second Life and don’t miss the chance to be part of this unique virtual adventure!
In the month of February, the renowned Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery, owned and curated by Dido Haas, will host an exceptional art exhibition titled “Shadows of Strength” by Frank Atisso. The exhibition will be presented in “The Annex” room at Nitroglobus, offering the audience a unique perspective on the interplay of light and shadow through grayscale male nude photography.
What makes this exhibition even more special is the rarity of artistic image exhibitions featuring the male nude in Second Life. Frank Atisso aims to break the mold by providing the audience with something different from the usual artistic routine. In “Shadows of Strength,” Frank portrays himself in various interpretations of nudity, exploring the inherent beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the male physique.
Frank Atisso is a well-known name in the Second Life art community. He has been an influential art blogger in the past, writing numerous reviews of Second Life art exhibitions on his blog, “Art Kornersl.” When writing reviews became too time-consuming, he created the Art Korner Exhibits HUD, which provided a weekly overview, including landmarks of Second Life art exhibitions. Furthermore, his contributions extend to the gallery scene, as he was the former owner and curator of ArtKorner Gallery, which has now transformed into Artsville Galleries with Jerzzie Reece as his counterpart.
When Frank showed some of these remarkable images to Dido Haas a while ago, she immediately suggested that he exhibit them at Nitroglobus. Dido Haas is thrilled with the quality and mood of these photographs and takes great pride in showcasing Frank Atisso’s work at Nitroglobus, making it the first gallery ever to exhibit his art.
Additionally, Dido Haas expresses sincere gratitude to Adwehe for her artwork, “The Fountain of Strength,” situated on a GO board play, created especially for this exhibition. Adwehe’s artwork adds another dimension to the atmosphere of “Shadows of Strength” and has captured Dido Haas’s attention.
Frank Atisso’s “Shadows of Strength” exhibition promises to be an extraordinary experience for Second Life art enthusiasts. The grayscale photographs, skillfully utilizing the interplay of light and shadow, delicately highlight the contours and lines of the human body. This exploration of beauty, strength, and vulnerability in the male form is undoubtedly a testament to Frank Atisso’s artistic commitment and talent.
Art lovers and visitors of Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery should not miss the opportunity to admire “Shadows of Strength.” The exhibition offers a unique chance to immerse oneself in an artistic experience that challenges conventions and provides a fresh perspective on the forms and beauty of the male body.
I am thrilled to share with you the reopening of “Wandering New York“! This Second Life region has been inspired by the magnificent city of New York, with Manhattan as its focal point.
“Wandering New York” is a New York-themed community that aims to bring together organizations, communities, groups, role players, bloggers, businesses, and everyone who appreciates this remarkable city. It is a hybrid living community, catering not only to role-playing enthusiasts but also to individuals seeking a virtual experience of New York. For this purpose, the community has designated a group specifically for role-playing activities.
One of the standout features of “Wandering New York” is its commitment to authenticity. Every aspect, from the meticulously designed buildings to the intricate details of the surroundings, has been carefully crafted to recreate the unique atmosphere of Manhattan. As I explore this region, I am transported to the bustling streets of this iconic city. The towering skyscrapers, trendy shops, and cozy coffee shops all contribute to an immersive experience.
What sets this community apart is its focus on fostering connections and collaboration. “Wandering New York” serves as a meeting place for individuals from around the world, allowing them to share common interests, organize events, and even establish businesses. It is a space where ideas can flourish and passions can be shared with like-minded individuals.
In addition to its vibrant community, “Wandering New York” offers the opportunity to rent homes within the region. For those seeking a more permanent presence in this virtual metropolis, a rental office is available to assist with the process. The availability of housing further enhances the sense of belonging and provides residents with a private space to retreat to after immersing themselves in the lively ambiance of the city.
Whether you are an avid explorer, a role-playing enthusiast, or simply seeking an authentic New York experience, “Wandering New York” is the perfect destination.
