About the Item

This is the original b/w postcard, representing the official portrait of the Italian senator of the Kingdom of Italy, Giacomo Grosso, with the inscription "Yacopus Grosso -Senator dilectus admiratusquae magister". Monogrammed with the typical double GG and Signed by Giacomo Grosso in black ink on the lower right margin. With autograph notes in pencil "Via Ospedale 55, Torino". Giacomo Grosso (Cambiano,1860 – Turin, 1938) Italian painter, Giacomo Grosso enrolled at the Accademia Albertina in Turin in 1873. Pupil of Andrea Gastaldi he made his debut in 1882 at the 24th Esposizione della Società di Incoraggiamento alle Belle Arti di Torino. In 1884, he participated at the Italian Exhibition with a painting inspired by the Verga's La storia di una capinera. In the French capital, he was acclaimed as a portraitist. Indeed he painted portraits of royalty, Benedict XV, Giovanni Agnelli, Toscanini and Puccini and often indulged in nude subjects of dubious eroticism, so as to be accused of immorality. In 1901 he made his first journey to South America, where he received commissions from Argentina. From 1906 he held the chair of painting at the Accademia Albertina in Turin and in 1929 he was nominated senator of the Kingdom of Italy.
