WHO
I AM
|
I was born in Collebeato on 2nd May, 1940. I obtained a diploma at the Istituto d'Arte of Castelmassa - Rovigo. After that, I attended the Accademia Carrara of Bergamo where I dedicated myself to developing my painting and sculpting technique. Both critics and colleagues who have come to me have described my temperament effectively and expressively. From 1971 to 1976, I appeared in the annuals of Pittori e Pittura Contemporanea published by Quadrato. I have also appeared in:ll Narciso in February 1976, on Panorama d'Arte in 1976, Historia in February 1987. |
Although the land of Tuscany is clearly my favourite, where most of my work has been carried out, I have never forgotten my tie of love with my city of origin. I have therefore had numerous personal and collective exhibitions there, and I have taken part in contests, receiving prizes and mentions. Some of these are: the show from 1971 to 1979 in the art gallery "Le Muse" of Brescia; the "Concorso Primavera" in Brescia in 1973, where I received a special mention; the contest "Mobil Brix" at Ghedi, near Brescia, in 1973, receiving another special mention; Chiusdino (Siena) 1974, where I came second. I also came second for the contest F.A.C. at Visano (Brescia) in 1975; fifth place for the Jean BartÚ prize in Milan in 1975; third in the Chiusdino contest (Siena) in 1975; fifth for the San Polo (Brescia) prize in 1975. I received a plaque and mentions for the 10th international prize "Il mondo d'oggi" at Caravaggio (Bergamo), in 1975; another prize at the international competition "BistrÚ" in Brescia in 1975. |
I took part in the exhibition "Moretto" in Brescia in 1975; in September 1976 the exhibition at Palazzo Patrizi in Siena earned me a mention on La Nazione of Florence and on Nuovo Corriere Senese; finally, the special prize of the jury at the international show "Il Cenacolo" in Florence in 1979. At present: two of my works are exhibited at the municipal art-gallery of the town hall of Chiusdino (Siena); various works are in private collections in Valgobbia, Valtrompia and Valsabbia, all near Brescia; one of my most important works is exhibited in the Chapel of Saint Galgano in Montesiepi di Chiusdino (Siena), framed by the stupendous frescoes of Lorenzetti; recently the completion of the wood and bronze portal of the shrine of Madonna delle Grazie in Chiusdino (Siena) has been inaugurated. |
