EDUCATION:
Classic High School diploma at “Liceo
Classico Statale Dante Alighieri” of Trieste in 1985 with final
graduation marks of 52/60. Although in 1986 I achieved the admission
award to the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, the Art Restoration
Department remained closed because of an internal teacher’s dispute, so
instead I was chosen for the painting restoration course with the same
professors at the Istituto per l’Arte e il Restauro of Palazzo Niccolini,
better known as Palazzo Spinelli. In June 1988 I obtained the diploma
with maximum graduation marks of 90/90.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
During the art restoration course and for
a further two years I then worked in the Studio Errebì Arte in via della
Fortezza 6 in Florence, directed by Prof. Massimo Seroni, ex-director of
Gabinetto Restauri of the
Uffizi’s Gallery. I wrote my graduation thesis with him about the
painter Vito Timmel, Illustrating his works in Florence. During those
years amongst the most important works I restored were the two paintings
on wood by Palma The Older, the portrait of “Giuditta” and “La Fuga in
Egitto”, the “Polittico” of the Church of Santa Croce by Lorenzo di
Niccolò, as well as the “Battle” by Brescianino (Francesco Monti) of the
Galleria Palatina and the “Pala d’Altare” del Maestro di Ser Umido. In
1990 I returned to Trieste where I was employed to write about art and
antiques in the local newspaper “Trieste Oggi” where I was awarded a
Correspondent’s Licence. I have restored paintings on both wood and
canvas belonging to the collection of the RAS Insurance Co. Within seven
years I restored the entire Pinacoteca of Lloyd Adriatico Insurance Co.
(now the Allianz Group) collection, containing paintings from 1300 to
1900. Some of these painters were as important as Mariotto Albertinellis,
Tommaso Salini and Palma the Younger. After this I then went on to
restore the paintings of Banca CRT, (now Unicredit Group). For the
Provincia of Trieste, Palazzo Galatti, I restored a 12.5 mtq canvas
representing “Il Patto del Risano” by Bruno Croatto and some other
paintings by Edgardo Sambo, amongst them the portrait of Anna Sambo,
which is very well known in the art gallery world. In particular the
restoration I did of “Il Patto del Risano” was highlighted in the RAI TV
news. Since 1990 I have been carrying out import restoration works in my
own studio and I have had continuous work within the public and private
sector. All my works have been documented by photographies, before,
during and after restoration. Some of the photographies is mine while
public works have been documented at the Sopraintendenza dei Beni
Artistici e Culturali of Trieste and Florence. The paintings restored
for Allianz Group are all illustrated and published by the Comune di
Venezia Ca’ Pesaro Galleria D’Arte Moderna in the volume “Pinacoteca del
Lloyd Adriatico - Dipinti dal ‘300 al ‘900”, and “Il Patto del Risano”
which is published in the Monografia di Bruno Croatto by Edizioni
Fondazione CRT Cassa di Risparmio Collana d’Arte. Good knowledge of
English and Spanish.
I enclose in my Curriculum Vitae a copy
of my Diploma, the Attestation, and the letter of reference awarded to
me by Prof. Massimo Seroni.
