Ø cm 80 h cm 60

Realist painter of the twentieth century, born in Rome in 1918.  His artistic studies led him to undertake many travels, visiting cities such as Florence, Paris and Venice until moving to Milan.  During the Second World War he was called to serve and was imprisoned by the Germans but, having managed to escape, he took refuge in Venice until the Liberation. Between the 40s and 50s he participated in the Venetian Biennials and also in the Roman Quadrennials, with tendencies close to the informal style. In the 1970s he was also president of the Milan Triennale. His passion for art led him to found the Alternative Museum in Lido Spina, with the aim of collecting the works of major contemporary artists. He obtained prizes and recognition even outside the national borders. His paintings are linked to social and political themes. During the twenty years of fascism his work was aimed at recounting the sins and horrors that the human soul was capable of generating. His works still speak to us of personal, interior feelings, traumatic memories that re-emerge even after years like nightmares.
