Filippo De Pisis
Filippo de Pisis was born in Ferrara in 1896. His father was Count Luigi Tibertelli. From his very first literary efforts, he adopted the pseudonym that he would keep forever, inspired by his illustrious forbear, Filippo da Pisa. Steeped in maternal love and family privilege, his childhood and youth were spent studying an eclectic array of subjects.

Filippo Palizzi
Filippo Palizzi (Vasto 1818 – Naples 1899) was the younger brother of Giuseppe. His dedication to painting “reality” seems to have been very much influenced by his brother’s move to Naples in 1854, bringing with him the new tendencies from France.

Francesco Somaini
He was born in Lomazzo in 1926. After initial post-Cubist work in the 1950s, he followed the Informal style and developed a kind of sculpture that was firmly placed in the environment and the urban space. His sculptures were often monumental forms even if the embryo was to be found in the world of organic matter.

Francesco Trombadori
Francesco Trombadori (Siracusa, 1886 – Rome 1961) was one of the group that began meeting regularly during the 1920s in the “Third Room” of the Caffè Aragno. This was not a structured movement but an environment in which writers such as Ardengo Soffici, Emilio Cecchi, Vincenzo Cardarelli, and Giuseppe Ungaretti, artists like Spadini, Donghi, Francalancia, and art historians like Roberto Longhi conducted a dialogue among quite divergent positions, from Metphysical painting to revivals of 17th-century classicism or harking back to archaic and primitive art.

Franco Gentilini
Franco Gentilini (Faenza 1909 - Rome 1981) went to school in Bologna. In 1928 he spent some time in Paris and in the following year one of his pictures was shown at the Venice Biennale.
He established his field of interest starting from a relationship between colour and design in which design remains visible as a bold outline of the forms.

Giacomo Balla
Giacomo Balla was born in 1871 in Turin where he came into contact with the work of Pellizza da Volpedo and Morbelli from whom he acquired both his artistic interest in Divisionism, which he tainted with Fontanesi’s colour blends, and his humanitarian interest in the problems of the marginalized classes.
