English summary: Catalog of the exhibition held in Florence during the summer 2009. It reproduces over 50 works comprehending paintings and drawings. Symbols that are light and airy, or else complex and detailed, and at times, primitive and somewhat aggressive: the work of De Masi tells of the moodiness of everyday life, intently observed, synthesised and filtered through the feeling of the moment, seen and documented through the discontinuity of subtle emotions. [...] Familiar faces of friends and relatives, but also the anonymous strangers on the commuter train are quickly sketched with a pencil, often embellished with a few hints of color, perhaps annotated for future elaboration. This is a sort of diary of facial features, expressions, images and sensations that would otherwise be lost, were they not fixed in place and annotated in this workbook. This was the method used by Leonard to invite to the studio those whom he intended to paint (Rosella Alberti). Italian and English text. Italian description: E il catalogo della mostra tenutasi a Firenze nell'estate 2009 e riproduce a colori oltre 50 opere tra dipinti e disegni. Segni leggeri ariosi oppure complessi, minuziosi, a volte duri, aggressivi quasi primitivi: il disegno di De Masi racconta una quotidianita umorale, osservata con attenzione e sintetizzata e filtrata dal sentire del momento, vista e registrata dalla discontinuita delle piccole emozioni. [...] Volti familiari di amici e parenti, ma anche quelli anonimi di coloro che affollano i treni dei pendolari diventano veloci tratti a matita, spesso sostenuti da qualche macchia di colore, forse appunti per future elaborazioni pittoriche. Una specie di diario per fissare una fisionomia, un'espressione, un'immagine, una sensazione che altrimenti andrebbero perdute se non fossero fermate e annotate sul book di lavoro - era l'invito che gia rivolgeva Leonardo a chi intendeva occuparsi di pittura (Rosella Alberti).
