About the author:
Born in 1953 in Livorno. As a young man, he follows his grandfather, a renowned Italian painter, acquainting himself with the era of Italian painting at the turn of the 19th to 20th century.
In 1968, he enrolls in the School of Applied Arts (Liceo Artistico) and devotes himself to his painting instinct. Already in 1972, he holds his first solo exhibition in Milan where his work is appreciated for the personality expressed in his vedute. Numerous exhibitions follow throughout Italy, establishing him as a skilled figurative artist. On his many travels, he embraces and develops themes far from our usual perceptions while his artistic experience matures. Living in the USA and Sri Lanka in 1987, he discovers an innovative approach that he incorporates into his paintings. In 1990, he was appointed secretary of the Gruppo Labronico, one of the oldest artistic associations, which historically included members such as Annigoni, Modigliani, and Nomellini. He lives and works in Livorno, which dedicated an anthology exhibition to him at the “Bottini dell’olio.” To date, he has exhibited in numerous public and private galleries. In 2000, he was selected among artists to mark the millennium, exhibited in New York in 2002, and in the Brussels Parliament in 2003.
