Charles-Albert Cingria (Geneva, 1883 - 1954)
Swiss writer, brother of the painter Alexandre, Charles Albert Cingria always lived as a real dandy, traveling a lot: he stayed in Rome, Tuscany (Siena and Florence), Constantinople and Paris. In France he dated Jean Cocteau, Stravinskij, Jean Paulhan, Max Jacob. He became a collaborator of the Nouvelle Revue Française, for which he wrote chronicles in the thirties and forties. He then returned to Switzerland (in Friborg) during the Second World War, and between 1944 and 1945 he wrote Parcours du Haut Rhône, Florides helvètese Musiques de Friborg.
He was also a historian and connoisseur of the Middle Ages, passionate about the world of troubadours and troubadours.
Among his other most important works: L'eau de la dixième milliaire, Impressions d'un passant à Lausanne (1932); Stalactites (1941); Bois sec bois vert (1948).
Nesto Jacometti (Locarno, 1898- 1973)
Nesto Jacometti is still today a fascinating figure of the Locano and International cultural scene of the last century. Collector and editor of graphic art, he was the promoter of two important editorial projects and adventures: the Guilde Internationale de la Gravure and L’Oeuvre Gravée. Born in Locarno at the end of the 19th century, at the age of 30 he left Ticino to move to Paris and immerse himself in the bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse. The war forces him to return to Switzerland, to Geneva, where he works in the journalistic field and he knows figures as Albert Skira and Pierre Cailler. With the latter one a collaboration born and resulted, in 1949, in a printing guild: an edition of etchings and lithographs destined for a wide circulation of the Paris School. During all his life, Jacometti collaborates and involves artists such as Rufino Tamayo and Jean Lurçat, Antoni Clavé, Zao Wou-Ki, Alfred Manessier, Gustave Singier and Zoran Music. He was awarded at the Venice Biennale in 1953, with the Critics' Grand Prix.In 1955 Jacometti engaged in the new publishing initiative, L'Oeuvre Gravée, calling new prestigious names on the Parisian art scene. Many artists owe their initiation to the art of engraving to him: Marino Marini, Massimo Campigli, Zao Wou-Ki, Johnny Friedlaender, Corneille, Max Ernst and Alberto Magnelli.
