In 2015 Robert Davi read Tinti's poem the Boxer at Rest at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and in subsequent years at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, again at the J. Paul Getty Museum and in a series of videos for the Treccani, Italian Encyclopaedia of Science, Letters, and Arts. [8]

In 2018 his ekphrastic poetry project ‘Ruins’ was awarded the Premio Montale [9] [10] with a ceremony at the National Roman Museum in Palazzo Altemps.
In the same year he extended his poetic work inspired by masterpieces of art to Renaissance painting, with a reading at the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Galleria di Palazzo Spinola, working again with the actor Alessandro Haber. [11]
In 2019 he was involved in a series of readings at the Capitoline Museums, the National Roman Museum, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles [12] with Marton Csokas, Robert Davi and Jamie McShane.
In February 2020 he returned to the British Museum for a reading inspired by the Trojan heroes on the occasion of the “Troy Myth and Reality” exhibition.
On World Poetry Day, 21 March 2020, the National Roman Museum presented the first poetic audio guide for the museum written by Tinti with readings by Marton Csokas, Alessandro Haber, Franco Nero and Kevin Spacey. [13]
In 2020 the Parco Archeologico Colosseo commissioned him to write a series of pieces evoking the statues once present in the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and the Domus Aurea. His poems were read by Alessandro Haber, Michele Placido, Robert Davi, Stephen Fry, James Cosmo, Marton Csokas, Abel Ferrara and Franco Nero. [14]
His work with Abel Ferrara began in 2020 with a reading inspired by the “Ludovisi Gaul”, continued in February 2021 at the Pinacoteca di Brera with a reading inspired by the “Christ at the Column” by Donato Bramante and developed in May 2021 at the Cappella Sansevero with a dramatic reading inspired by the Veiled Christ, culminating in recent performances in front of “The Mocking of Christ” by Beato Angelico at the Museo San Marco in Florence and Andrea Mantegna’s “Ecce Homo” at the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris. [15] [16]

In 2019 he worked with the two time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey. After having returned to the stage with the video ‘Let me be Frank’, which attracted millions of views, on 2 August Spacey read four of Tinti's poems inspired by the Boxer at Rest in front of a large crowd that gathered at the National Roman Museum in Palazzo Massimo, where the statue is located. [23] [24] The official video was released the next day on Tinti's YouTube channel. [25]

When the National Roman Museum reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic Tinti worked with Abel Ferrara, who read his dramatic works inspired by the Ludovisi Gaul, a Roman marble group depicting a Gallic man in the act of plunging a sword into his breast. [27]
His work focuses on the subject of death and suffering [28] [29] and is mainly composed in the form of lucid and epigrammatic poetry. The humanity sung in his writings is the dramatic life of boxers, suicides, defeated heroes and the disabled.
In 2016 he published Last words (Skira Rizzoli) a collection of found poetry in association with Andres Serrano. [30]
His work has been inspired by the Greek lyric poets Archilochus and Theocritus, the Romantics Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats and the Russian poets Sergei Yesenin and Alexander Alexandrovich Blok.
In an interview in The Washington Post, regarding his work with Kevin Spacey, he said that: “I have always taken the side of the scapegoat (…) I believe that Me Too movement is becoming a violent witch hunt. Spacey, like others, has the right to the presumption of innocence and I cannot in any way support the preventative exclusion and annihilation of a man, woman or work,”. [31]
His work with Abel Ferrara took place at a time when sculptures were being pulled down all over the world. After the performance Tinti said to la Repubblica: “Sculptures have a voice to be responded to or embodied, but through poetry, not violence”. [32]

The word ekphrasis, or ecphrasis, comes from the Greek for the written description of a work of art produced as a rhetorical or literary exercise, often used in the adjectival form ekphrastic. It is a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art, either real or imagined. Thus, "an ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art." In ancient times, it might refer more broadly to a description of any thing, person, or experience. The word comes from the Greek ἐκ ek and φράσις phrásis, 'out' and 'speak' respectively, and the verb ἐκφράζειν ekphrázein, 'to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name'.
