Mosaicist, painter, illustrator. One hundred years after his birth, Ravenna dedicates a tribute to Nedo Del Bene (Sansepolcro, 1925 – Ravenna, 2018).
A lively and multifaceted artist, he devoted himself to art since the 1950s, after training in painting courses at the Florence Academy of Art directed by Primo Conti and in painting and mosaic courses under the guidance of Teodoro Orselli and Renato Signorini at the Academy of Ravenna, his adopted city. During a fundamental stay in France, he approached the celebrated “École de Paris,” thus elaborating a pictorial poetics that, while remaining anchored in ‘figurative investigation, draws on sentiment and its deep emotional suggestions. In his fervent mosaic and pictorial activity, important awards and participation in about seventy exhibitions in Italy, Europe and Japan are reported.
The exhibition, promoted by the Municipality of Ravenna, is curated by Paolo Trioschi and Marco del Bene.
