Taking that option of the collaborations, he has had to rub shoulders with the most famous photographers of the twentieth century. Some became friends. It is these images that it sells today. Part of his collection was exhibited several times especially in 2013 as part of the event "Nice 2013 a summer to Matisse". On this occasion, Jean-Jacques Aillagon, artistic curator of the event, explained "For his fashion photography experience, Amedeo acquired a taste for photography, this relatively new art that has not celebrated its bicentenary. The 200 photos that will be scattered at Artcurial begin to honour female beauty through the work of great masters such as Man Ray, Edward Boubat, Hans Bellmer, Elliott Erwitt, William Klein, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, Jean-Loup Sieff or Jean-Baptiste Mondino ... and young photographers' images of strong and independent women, proud and radiant, sensitive and fragile ... every shot is a story in itself that embodies the true essence and soul of beauty, sometimes described also with own contradictions and contrasts to each personality, "Mr. Amedeo decrypts Turello. The collection of photographs of Amedeo M. Turello is an ode to woman. By bringing together, around a same theme, nationalities of photographers and images from different times, he gives to see the changing status of women in society.
