Mattia are painted. Confirmed by Enrico himself.
I had a wood epoxy boat in 2005, painted.
I know of more small run production boats as well, all painted.
Many refurbished boats in Paint as well.
I'm done with arguing a mute point with you Franck, you have displayed a clear bias against paint regardless of the mounds of evidence to support paint presented to you.
If you truly have the best interests of the class at heart I suggest you look at the facts, and remove your personal grudge.
Your French class members will appreciate it
