Pirellis.s 2016 Calendar

The greatest challenge of a portrait photographer is how do you make art out of someone looking at the camera.

Just take the fine line between a smile and a grin, how do one know which smile was the right one and which one looked like a crocodile grin... Mona Lisa is the perfect example of the right smile.

AL is a very good portrait photographer, she gets all the smiles right in this shoot. Secondly, by staying away from Karsh's legacy of chiaroscuro lighting for portraits and going with a simple flat lighting, she leaves the subjects to fill the frame with their personality.

Pirelli was delisted from the Milan stock exchange in November, following purchase of the company by ChemChina. That makes it a Chinese company.

Pirelli traded at 14.99 euros in Milan on Wednesday, just shy of the offer price. Beijing-based ChemChina, formally known as China National Chemical Corp., plans to delist Pirelli in the transaction to facilitate restructuring. The state-owned Chinese company makes fertilizers and other chemicals as well as tires.

Under the agreement with ChemChina, Provera would have the right to relist the company in four years. The CEO, who will keep management control for at least that long under ChemChina, has said he aims to sell shares again in Italy if conditions are right.
