Past
Piero Fogliati
Originally from Canelli (1930), Piero Fogliati lived and worked primarily in Turin. Starting in the 1950s, he devoted himself to the visual arts, experimenting as a self-taught artist with both figurative and abstract-informal painting.
Facing the ambiguity and complexity of the world by seeking a form to attribute to desires has undoubtedly been one of the most captivating challenges that contemporary culture has successfully revived. In this context, the idea of the city, in particular, has garnered significant attention, especially at a time when the realities of industry and technological development were confronting the environment, questioning not only the design of the landscape but also the urban structure and its residential models.
