# Mauro Balletti

Mauro Balletti (born 4 September 1952) is an Italian photographer, painter and graphic designer.

## Mina

Belletti is particularly known for his work with Italian singer Mina. Mina met Belletti during the filming of a commercial for Tassoni, and knowing that he was an artist, she invited him to take some photos, thereby discovering a new talent in him.
A few months later, in 1973, Mina's albums Frutta e verdura/Amanti di valore, the author of the covers of which was Balletti. Some of Mina's album covers by his authorship have gained great fame (some of them are the result of collaboration with Gianni Ronco). In particular, the album cover of Attila was recognized as the best cover of the year and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; while the album cover of Salomè (1981) with a "bearded" Mina, or Rane supreme, where Mina's face is photoshopped to the body of a bodybuilder, caused a lot of controversy. Balletti also actively used computer technology to create the covers. In 1992, he was the first to create a cover with a digital image, using a Mac computer. In the same year, he received the Italian Advertisers Award for the best image/packaging of the year (Sorelle Lumière album cover).
In 2016, Gianluigi Attorre and Katerina Mollica's special program Tra le immagini di Mina – L'arte di Mauro Balletti, dedicated to Balletti, was broadcast on Sky.
At the 2018 Sanremo Music Festival, Mina "appeared" as an avatar, a three-dimensional hologram previously featured on the cover of Gianni Ronco's Piccolino (2011), which was also created by Balletti.
In 2025, Mina released a music video "Senza farsi male", dedicated to Balletti, which also captures the artist's creative process.
Vogue Italia magazine stated that Balleti is "the only authorized emissary, the singular spokesman (although they are images) of a beloved national icon who for decades has been hiding in some far corner of the galaxy", created "richest and most transgressive series of album covers in the history of music".

## Other works

Balletti continued to pursue professional photography. His first solo exhibition was held in 1978 at the Galleria D'arte Treves; another solo exhibition in 1980 at the Galleria L'Isola on Via Solferino in Milan. In the following years, Balletti will hold many more solo exhibitions both in Italy and abroad.
In the 1980s, he began collaborating as a photographer with some fashion magazines, and since then he has also been directly involved in advertising.
Since the 1990s, he began making commercials, music videos, and short films, and supervised the production of television programs. His first short film, Strong Seat Belts, starring Benedetta Mazzini and Massimo Popolizio, entered the Venice Film Festival in 1996 and was selected to participate in the British Short Film Festival in 1997.

# Maryland Route 781

Maryland Route 781 (MD 781) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Delancy Road, the state highway runs 1.01 miles (1.63 km) from U.S. Route 40 (US 40) north to MD 281 in Elkton close to the Delaware state line. Delancy Road was brought into the state highway system as MD 781 in 1984.

## Route description

MD 781 begins at an intersection with US 40 (Pulaski Highway) in the town of Elkton 0.23 miles (0.37 km) west of the U.S. Highway's crossing of the Delaware state line. The highway heads north as a two-lane undivided road to the west of the state line and to the east of Grays Hill. MD 781 leaves the town of Elkton about halfway through its course, but the route follows a finger of unincorporated area between sections of the town to its northern terminus. That terminus is at MD 281 (Red Hill Road) 0.34 miles (0.55 km) west of that highway's crossing of the state line.

## History

Delancy Road long predates being a part of the state highway system, the road having existed since at least 1898. The highway was designated MD 781 in December 1984 after being transferred from county to state maintenance in a May 16, 1984, road transfer agreement.

# Maryland Route 760

Maryland Route 760 (MD 760) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Rousby Hall Road, the state highway runs 4.56 miles (7.34 km) from Rousby Road in Drum Point north to MD 2/MD 4 in Lusby. The portion of MD 760 in Lusby was built as MD 503 in the early 1930s; the Drum Point section was constructed as a county highway by 1939. MD 503 was removed from the state highway system in the late 1950s. MD 760 was designated in two sections in the early 1960s.

## Route description

MD 760 begins at Rousby Road on a peninsula adjacent to Solomons Island and the mouth of the Patuxent River. The state highway heads east and then northeast as a two-lane undivided road through the community of Drum Point. MD 760 curves north as it passes along the western edge of Chesapeake Ranch Estates and crosses Coles Creek. The state highway turns west and crosses Mill Creek into Lusby, where the highway meets Olivet Road and Southern Connector Boulevard at a roundabout, from which MD 760 continues north. MD 760 intersects MD 765 (H.G. Trueman Road) in a commercial area before reaching its northern terminus at a directional crossover intersection with MD 2/MD 4, which run concurrently as Solomons Island Road.

## History

MD 760's predecessor state highway was MD 503, which was assigned to the highway from MD 2 (now MD 765) in Lusby to the southern end of Olivet Road in community of Olivet on the peninsula between St. John Creek and Mill Creek. The portion of MD 760 in Drum Point was preceded by a series of streets, now part of residential subdivisions, that connected Lusby with the Drum Point Light. MD 503 was constructed as a gravel road in 1933. The Drum Point portion of MD 760 was constructed as a county highway by 1938 to provide access to the M.M. Davis Shipyard, a leading producer of yachts that was sited on Ship Point opposite Solomons at the mouth of Mill Creek in 1913. The road to the Davis Shipyard and the portion of MD 503 north to MD 2 was improved as a wartime access project in around 1944. MD 503 was removed from the state highway system in 1957. MD 760 was assigned in two sections: along Rousby Hall Road from the present southern terminus to Olivet Road in 1962, and from there north to MD 2 in 1963. The state highway was extended north to MD 2/MD 4 when the two highways were relocated from MD 765 to a new divided highway to the west around 1987; this intersection was changed to a directional crossover intersection in 2005. The roundabout at Olivet Road was constructed in 2006 in conjunction with the fourth leg of the roundabout, Southern Connector Boulevard.

# Maryland Route 935

Maryland Route 935 (MD 935) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 2.99 miles (4.81 km) from MD 36 in Barton north to MD 36 in Nikep. MD 935 is the old alignment of MD 36 through Barton, Moscow, and Nikep in the Georges Creek Valley of western Allegany County. The state highway was designated when MD 36 moved to a new alignment through the communities in the early 1980s.

## Route description

MD 935 begins at an intersection with MD 36 (New Georges Creek Road) just south of Barton. The state highway heads west as a two-lane undivided road, then turns north at the following intersection with Lower Georges Creek Road, which heads south as a county-maintained portion of old MD 36. MD 936 heads north as Lower Georges Creek Road. The state highway's name changes to Legislative Road on crossing Moores Run and entering the town limits of Barton. MD 935 crosses Georges Creek and turns west. The state highway turns north again at Railroad Street and parallels the Georges Creek Railway through the business district of Barton. MD 935 turns northwest and crosses the railroad, then turns northeast to cross Butcher Run. Takoma Drive, an old alignment, splits to the east shortly before the state highway leaves the town of Barton. MD 935 continues north as Lower Georges Creek Road through the community of Moscow, where the state highway crosses Georges Creek a second time and closely parallels the railroad. A short unnamed highway, MD 935A, connects MD 935 and MD 36 within Moscow. MD 935 crosses Georges Creek a third time and passes through Nikep, where an old alignment parallels the highway, before reaching its northern terminus at MD 36 (Lower Georges Creek Road).

## History

MD 935 is the old alignment of MD 36 through Barton, Moscow, and Nikep. The highway was paved from Nikep toward Lonaconing by 1910. The road south of the center of Barton was paved by 1915. The highway from Barton north through Moscow to Nikep was under construction at that time and completed by 1919. MD 36's bypass of Barton, Moscow, and Nikep was completed around 1982, at which time MD 935 was assigned to the old road through the communities.

# Massachusetts Route 115

Route 115 is a 10.87-mile-long (17.49 km) south–north highway in southeastern Massachusetts. The route connects several small towns in western Norfolk County, ending just into Middlesex County in Sherborn.

## Route description

Route 115 begins at Route 140 in Foxborough, just north of where that route crosses U.S. Route 1. Almost immediately, the route crosses the far northeastern corner of Wrentham before passing into the town of Norfolk. In Norfolk the route crosses Route 1A before continuing northwestward, passing Stony Brook Pond and the Bristol Blake State Reservation before crossing through the center of town near the Norfolk commuter rail station. From there, Route 115 continues northward into Millis, crossing the Charles River and intersecting Route 109 at the center of town. It then continues northward, crossing into Sherborn. Once in Sherborn, the route shortly ends at Route 27, just west of that route's crossing of the Charles River into the town of Medfield.
Route 115 is in large part a scenic highway, mostly meandering through rather dense woods, with the exception being the town center of Millis, which is home to many shops and banks. Route 115 also passes through the center of Norfolk, a much smaller and less developed town than Millis.

## History

The current alignment of Route 115 is the route's second. Between 1927 and 1932, Route 115 was the designation of what is modern Route 9 between Kenmore Square in Boston and Route 122 in North Grafton.

# Dorsey's Search, Columbia, Maryland

Dorsey's Search is a parcel of land patented by John Dorsey of Hockley-in-the-hole (1645–1714) in Baltimore County (now Howard County). The 479-acre (194 ha) property adjacent to the north branch of the Patuxent river was surveyed by Richard Beard in December 1684, and granted to Dorsey in March 1696. The property lying between "Long Reach" and "Elk Ridge" was resurveyed in March 1723 to include 750 acres (300 ha). After several generations of inheritance, a series of legal disputes were held over the land by Rezin Hammond and Richard Ridgley in 1820. In 1827 the property exchanged hands to Robert Oliver, builder of Oakland Mill, who combined it with multiple properties totaling 2,300 acres (930 ha). George Gaither acquired the property in 1838. John Dorsey's grandson, "Patuxent" John Dorsey of "Dorsey's Search" built Dorsey Hall at the site.

## Dorsey's Search Village

Dorsey's Search is one of ten villages comprising Columbia, Maryland, United States, named after the land tract with a 2014 population of 7,500. Early land purchases and rezoning included Howard County Board of Trade member J Frank Gwynn's farm along Font Hill in 1955 by the Development and Investment Corporation of Maryland. The 715-acre parcel of land was purchased by the Howard Research and Development subsidiary of the Rouse Company in 1968 from the Gudelsky family that sought to rezone the area for high-rise apartments in the 1960s. The "Mandel" site was proposed to be a "Central Park" for Columbia featuring a high school, county office buildings, and a replacement for the Carr's Mill Landfill in 1974. In 1969, the County attempted to purchase by condemnation, the land occupying Centennial Park from a company run by the land speculator Joel Kline for $3,180 an acre. Kline was later indicted for real estate fraud that was linked to local politicians up to Spiro Agnew who was forced to resign. The County eventually bought the Centennial lake parkland from Kline's creditors at nearly twice the cost. Dorsey's Search was occupied starting in 1980. In 1999 the village manager was indicted for embezzling $121,000 of village funds. The current population is approximately 7,500. The village has two neighborhoods: Dorsey Hall and Fairway Hills. It is the northernmost Columbia village, with part of the village lying north of Maryland Route 108.
The village is the location of Dorsey Hall which was named after the local Dorsey Hall Manor House and former slave plantation, built in the 18th century. The village's street names are based on the works of American author Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Fairway Hills occupies the site of the former Allview golf course, closed in 1985 for subdivision.

## Services

Dorsey's Search Village Center opened in 1989, and has a community center, Linden Hall, as well as a grocery store, restaurants, and other retail establishments.
The poem "Musa" by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. provides the name for Linden Hall.
Fairway Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole par 70 golf course with Bermuda grass fairways, located in the neighborhood of Fairway Hills. It opened in 1995.
There is one outdoor pool, in Dorsey Hall.
