Verist painter of the twentieth century, born in Rome in 1918. His artistic studies led him to make many trips, 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 escaped, he took refuge in Venice until the Liberation. Between the '40s and '50s, he participated in the Venice Biennials and also the Rome Quadriennials, with tendencies close to the informal style. In the '70s, he was also president of the Milan Triennale. His passion for art led him to found the Museo Alternativo in Lido Spina, with the aim of collecting works by major contemporary artists. He received awards and recognition even beyond national borders. His paintings are linked to social and political themes. During the fascist twenty-year period, his work aimed to tell the guilt and horrors that the human soul was capable of generating. His works still speak to us of personal, inner feelings, traumatic memories that resurface even after years like nightmares.
