    By Antonio Manganaro

    Onorevole Romano detto il Tribuno is an original artwork realized by Antonio Manganaro, in 1872. Original lithograph, watercolored by hand.

On the back, his biography. Signed on plate on the lower right A. Manganaro. Antonio Manganaro (Manfredonia, 1842 - Naples, 1920) was a painter, caricaturist, and drawing professor. Early designer, at the age of 14, he was sent to Naples at the Royal Institute of Art. The expenses were borne by two local patrons, Baron Cessa and Diego Badarò, who awarded him six ducats a month.
