Notturno

The painting presents a brief part of the landscape, whose composition recalls the way Morandi organized this theme, around blocks of flats erected in the centre of the painting and a night sky barely revealing some more luminous hints.
The tonal elements vibrate with a tension that unites Scialoja, Stradone and Sadun in one group – not unexpectedly at that time (1946) – later followed by Cesare Brandi.
The particular pulsation of the forms suggests the existential and informal style subsequently adopted by Scialoja.
