Additional Information
Artist: Mario Moretti Foggia (1882-1954)
Born in Mantua in 1882, Moretti Foggia trained at the Brera Academy as a student of Cesare Tallone and Moses Bianchi. Landscape and portrait painter, he painted in oil, tempera, watercolor and fresco. His paintings are present in the Quirinale collection and in public and private galleries in Italy, Switzerland, the United States and Latin America. A tireless traveller, he stayed for a long time in the East where he carried out numerous studies of costumes and landscapes exhibited in London, Paris and Brussels. He participated in various national and international group exhibitions and between 1922 and 1954 he gave life to 10 solo exhibitions with great success among the public and critics. When he didn't travel, he always chose to live in Macugnaga, the small town in the Ossola Valley that he portrayed in many of his landscapes and where he died in 1954.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
