Eliseo Mattiacci
Eliseo Mattiacci was born in Cagli in 1940. In 1964 he moved to Rome where he joined the group known as the “Piazza del Popolo School”, also attended by artists such as Schifano, Festa, Ceroli, Pascali, Angeli and Fioroni. Mattiacci was particularly close to Pascali and, following in his footsteps, created paradoxical “scenarios” that emphasized the physical bulk of the objects he then amplified into large-scale works.
