Alcide Ernesto Campestrini son of Alcide Davide and brother of Gianfranco, was born in Milan, where the family had moved in 1897. After the first rudiments of art with his father, from 1914 he studied at the Brera Academy in Milan, under the guidance of Ambrogio Antonio Alciati, concluding his training in 1922 after a period of enlistment, also obtaining the qualification to teach. In 1923 he began to exhibit at the Brera Biennale and was subsequently present in various Milanese exhibitions, as well as starting to propose his personal exhibitions. He devoted himself to still life, figure painting and the alpine landscape, the Trentino one in particular, with a technique linked to his father's school and to the late nineteenth-century tradition. Several times together with the Campestrini family, he spent his holidays in Valsugana, falling in love with those landscapes and in particular he fell in love with Lake Caldonazzo, depicted several times in his canvases, just as he depicted the hills around Sanremo and the Eastern Ligurian Riviera where he often stay.

Artistic technique: Painting

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.
