Continuing Education & Experience
Paolo travels the world personally visiting the craftsmen, factories, and vendors that he employs - learning firsthand their capabilities and limitations. He travels the globe seeking to expand the horizons of the inspiration for his designs.
For example, Paolo has studied the architecture of the Moors in Istanbul and at the Alhambra & Generalife in Granada, Espana and various sites around Cordoba, Espana; ancient fountains and ruins of Ephesus, the Roman ruins and pools of Aphrodisias; Roman mosaics in Merida & Italica (Sevilla), Espana; major temples & sites of Egypt; art & tombs of the Etruscans, Phoenesians & Ephesians; the Renaissance Movement, art and the Boboli Gardens in Florence; and the architecture, gardens, & fountains of Versailles.
He has studied art, history & the architecture of Paris, from his townhouse just outside of the city.
He has performed studies of the art of Pablo Picasso & Joan (Juan) Miro in their private studios, and has delved deeper into their art & lives at the Fundacion de Picasso, Malaga, Spain, and Fundacio Pilar i Joan Miro a Mallorca, Balaeric Islands.
He has performed extensive studies of Roman architecture, history, art & mosaics at ancient sites in Spain: Italicia, Merida, Cadiz, Toledo, & Seville; in Italy: Venice, Verona, Rome, Perugia, Milano, Napoli, Monticchiello, Orvieto, Spoleto, Siena, Florence, Como, and Assisi, and various sites in Egypt, France, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. He has spent over 4 weeks exploring Turkey, the countryside, it's ancient treasures and biblical sites.
Paolo has expressed a focused interest in the Byzantine era of the Roman Empire. From the adoption of Christianity by Constantine, his influence in the formation of the modern bible, the efforts of Constantine's Mother Helen in collecting the early Relics of Christianity, Helen's maintenance and preservation of the early sites of religious importance, the Roman influence on other societies. The surviving art, architecture, engineering and mosaics of the Byzantine Empire displayed the ever increasing ingenuity of mankind.
He has toured the famous glass factories of Murano, Italy and has observed the glass tile mosaic operations of Bisazza, in Vicenza, Italy. He has visited the operations of granite/marble quarries & processors in places as far away as Turkey, Italy, Vermont, Brazil, & Egypt.
Paolo has experienced Carnival in Venice, Italy. He has explored the House & Gardens of the Virgin Mary (her last known residence) and the ancient sites of the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelations (Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatria, Sardis, Ephesus, Philadelphia, Laodicea).
He has has witnessed a rare performance of Bach's Passion of Christ by the combined companies of the Paris Opera & Paris Symphony - inside Paris' Cathedral de Notre Dame.
The highlight of his travels, was when he was actually allowed to kiss Jesus Christs' Crown of Thorns. It is recognized by the Vatican as one of Christendom's 12 sacred artifacts, attributed to the Passion of Jesus Christ. It origins are documented as far as Saint Helen, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine. It was the subject of the Crusades and even the motivation for the construction of the church, Sainte Chapelle. To this day, the Sainte Chapelle church stands nearby the Cathederal de Notre Dame. Stained glass windows & a beautiful alter inside the Sainte Chapelle Church pay homage to the Crown & document it's arrival in Paris. Refer to: www.notredamedeparis.fr/Veneration-of-the-Crown-of-Thorns for more information & images.
On a personal note... Paolo is a student of the martial arts. He holds advanced black belts in tae kwon do & eskrima & he teaches martial arts a few hours each week. He loves cooking for friends & family in his 800 sq. ft. gourmet kitchen - complete with a 14 foot water feature down the center! He enjoys collecting & trading wrist watches, ancient Roman coins, and stamps in his passport. He enjoys spending time in the outdoors with his two teenage sons.
What others are saying about Paolo & his abilities...
"Paolo (Benedetti) is one of the top Aquatic Designers in the World," heralded the editor & publisher of one of the leading consumer luxury swimming pool magazines. "He is constantly surprising us with something new."
He has been described as, "The Aquatic Industry's equivalent of da Vinci & Buonarroti."
"A master illusionist, an expert at deceiving the eye and tricking the brain."
Paolo or his projects have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, CNN, New York Times, USA Today, HGTV, and the following magazines: Robb Report, Lux (Spain), the Affluent Pages, Millionaire, Luxury Pools, Water Shapes, Gentry, Luxury Homes, Options, Lexus, Seasons (the Four Seasons Hotels Magazine), Luxury Real Estate, Aqua, and the Franklin Report.
