About the Item
The unframed painting measures 120 x 61 cm.
Romualdo Locatelli è conosciuto per i suoi ritratti che riflettono le culture e le tradizioni dei luoghi esotici che ha visitato. Born in Bergamo, Italy, in 1905, he traveled and explored various parts of the world until finding death under mysterious circumstances near Manila.
The painting in question is emblematic of his interest in different cultures and his ability to represent them with authenticity and respect.
The painting in question is emblematic of his interest in different cultures and his ability to represent them with authenticity and respect; it depicts a boy standing, with an expression between surprised and smiling, holding a baby goat. He wears typical festive clothes, such as the
chechia headdress and jebba robe, while in the background we can see a glimpse of the domed outline of a shrine of the saints (Sidi), so it may have been made during the ʿīd al-aḍḥā, or sacrifice festival, still in vogue in some southern cities of the country.
It is related to the artist's experiences in North Africa, where he traveled in 1927, leaving from Gabés in
Tunisia, and in the fall of 1930, together with his painter friend Ernesto Quarti Marchiò. A painting
almost entirely similar, probably the sketch of ours-noting only a few differences in the choice of palette and background details-in the private collection has in the frame the label of the Bolzani Gallery in Milan, where Locatelli held an exhibition in early 1930. It can therefore be assumed that the execution of the canvas dates back to the first trip to Mediterranean Africa, and a date of the second half of the 1920s is proposed.

Romualdo Locatelli
Romualdo Locatelli studied at the Carrara Academy and then, driven by a strong passion for trips, traveled a lot in Italy and abroad in Africa and Orient. During World War II, he moved to Manila in the Philippines, where he stayed until his death. His works belong to public and private collections all around the world, especially in Orient, where he probably made his better works and is still known as the famous Romualdo. In his natal city, Bergamo dedicated his many exhibitions.
