Evocative and romantic view of Manzoni's district of Lecco, located on the left bank of the Adda, with the jagged peak of the Resegone in the background. Mario Borgiotti was an important exponent (as well as president for a decade) of the Labronico Group, the group of painters founded in Livorno and active since 1920, linked to the pictorial experiences developed in Tuscany; also important was his commitment to trade and collecting works of art - an important private collection of 19th century Tuscan works was exhibited, contributing to the knowledge and appreciation of modern painting, and imposing himself as a connoisseur of the most important Italian movement of the 19th century , the Macchiaioli. In 1955 he moved to Milan, via Manzoni, where he remained until 1976, promoting exhibitions of his collection and both personal production in the main cities of Italy and the world. This work refers to his Milanese period, which allowed him to approach the Lombard landscape.

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.
