A small model. A real story.
Hand-painted historical miniatures, aircraft models and micro-dioramas inspired by real history.
Each piece is based on photographs, paintings and historical sources, from ancient to modern times.
Microhistory Models Italy is a small personal collection dedicated to historical modelling, atmosphere and storytelling.
Every model is designed as a compact scene: a subject, a base, a label, and a real story behind it.
Aircraft Models 1:72
A growing collection of aircraft models displayed as compact historical scenes.
Micro-Dioramas
Small-scale military and civilian scenes focused on atmosphere, storytelling and careful presentation.
Workbench
A short look at the model currently on my workbench.
Each model is catalogued with a personal code and accompanied, when available, by a short historical and modelling sheet. This is part of the pleasure of the project: not only building the model, but also preserving the small story behind it.
Research & historical note
My models are based on a combination of published books, kit documentation, period photographs, colour profiles and personal modelling notes.
This website is apolitical and non-partisan. The models and images shown here are presented only as historical and modelling subjects.
My interest is focused on machines, technology, colours, craftsmanship and history, not on ideology. Modelling can bring people together as one of the many forms of human art.

Microhistory Models Italy is a personal project, updated at a quiet pace whenever new models, research notes or photographs are ready.
