The photo is from Luxottica Minio Naro. The words are indeed from Piero Barone of IL Volo. They are posted on his twitter profile. I believe he wrote this himself.
The words are somewhat similar to a quotation from “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde.
“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.”

Credit the quotation to Piero Barone
Birds, if every year you leave our climes as soon as winter strips our woods bare, it is not only to find new greenery and avoid our wintry weather. But you are destined only to love when the flowers are in bloom and when that season has passed, you seek it elsewhere so that you can love all year round.
Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes. ~Author Unknown
