Renzo Biasion (Treviso, 1914 - Florence, 1996)
Born in Treviso in 1914, he moved to Venice where he graduated from the local art school and taught drawing in secondary schools. In 1940, when Italy entered World War II, he fought on the Greek-Albanian front as a second lieutenant in the infantry and began writing a war diary that would then be lost. After the Greek campaign, he was transferred, with the German troops, to Crete. With the announcement of the armistice of 8 September 1943 and the disbanding of the Italian army, he was taken prisoner by the Germans and sent to concentration camps first in the Netherlands, then in Poland and Germany. During his imprisonment, he made drawings of the lager and portraits from life of Italian and German soldiers, he also began writing a prison diary. In 1944, he managed to escape and returned to Italy.
After the war, Biasion resumed teaching and exhibited some works in a Venetian art gallery, arousing the appreciation of the poet and essayist Sergio Solmi. The tragic experiences of war and imprisonment are transfused in writings, drawings, paintings and engravings. He also began composing a series of stories, equally inspired by the memories of war, which would give life to Sagapò, a novel that Elio Vittorini had printed in Einaudi's I Gettoni collection in 1953. And it is in Sagapò (in Greek I love you), his most famous literary work, that the Mediterranean film inspired to, directed in 1991 by Gabriele Salvatores, winner of the Oscar for best foreign language film in 1992.
There are numerous collaborations as an art and literary critic in periodicals such as Il Verri, Le Vie d'Italia, newspapers: Gazzetta del popolo, Il Resto del Carlino, Corriere d'Informazione. On the weekly paper Oggi, he edited an art column for thirty-five years.
Renzo Biasion and the etching:
Renzo Biasion's etchings have been made since the 1960s and the dominant features of all his art are visible in them. With a sober language, he represents interiors and landscapes immersed in the silence that is stillness is not solitude.
The artist himself writes about the magic art of etching as follows: "Like many painters I began to engrave late. And the first push was practical, I wanted to reproduce for friends some views of the German concentration camps, which I had drawn from life during my imprisonment. The passion is later, in the camp of Biala Podlaska, ninety kilometers north of Warsaw, I had available tiny sheets of paper, some drawing nibs, and a bottle of Indian ink. taken prisoner, with their owner, to Crete, they helped me to live because I gave drawings to the Germans for bread. Thus, having taken the plates, the basin, the acid, and having dusted off the notions learned at school, I began at first to redo some paintings, and then to go outside, rather than with the sheet white, pen or pencil, with steel tips and smoked plate. The engraving is drawing; that is done with instruments other than a pencil, (...) a good draftsman can soon become a good engraver too, while a bad draftsman will never, (...) completely mask his insufficiency. And since the drawing is the first expression of the artist, the most spontaneous and direct, (..), I tried to do with the steel point what I did with the pencil, that is to say, transfer on the plate a proven emotion, a precisely, an idea, (..)
But the tip, forcing me to "look" in a different way, led me to an investigation into the very particular (..) so the incision can come with the thin tip where the brush would lose its bite, let's say the description of a insect, of a shell, of a tree trunk, of a bunch of herbs, of flowers when they have become dry, and so on. (...) and in my case they are certain facades of social housing, the suburbs of industrial cities, with their tangle of wires, avenues and rails, the interior of the studio, that is to say a world created by me, the dried flowers and shells, which Budigna okmi remember the sea, passed through by generations of my ancestors, and therefore perhaps remained in my blood like a nostalgia for space, strength and purity. Here is the incision, pointing to new paths, has broadened the field of my interests. Which means an enlargement of learning, and of living. This may be important for one who considers painting a way of communicating and the painter's task to take and understand in order to then give, God helping, with beauty and truth.

Landscape - Etching by Fiorella Diamantini - 1962
By Fiorella Diamantini
Located in Roma, IT
Landscape is a beautiful black and white etching and aquatint on paper, realized in 1962 by the Italian artist Fiorella Diamantini (Cingoli, 1931-2019).
Signed and dated in pencil on the lower right margin and with the autograph note "Prova di stampa" in pencil on the lower left margin.
Our original etching, an artist proof, confirms the artist's love for classic style in the wake of another great artist from the region Marche: Luigi Bartolini.
In this original rpint everything is defined by a fabric of lines that thickens for the contours, and it is made rarer for the shadows. She seems to draw her landscapes from absolute white, where the edges of the real irrepressible by a single line are defined by grey backgrounds. A real skilled hand demonstrates a full mastery of the artistic technique and a real suggestive landscape that has something of the geometrical rigor and of the unmaterial of memory.
In very good conditions, this is a very touching landscape, a landscape with the typical emotions of the memory places.
Fiorella Diamantini was born in Cingoli in 1931 and graduated from the Book School of Urbino and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. She studied engraving with Leonardo Castellani in Urbino and Mino Maccari in Rome. Since 1958, she has taught in Rome Techniques of Engraving, first assistant of Mino Maccari, then of Arnoldo Ciarrocchi.
From 1951, she lived in Rome. In 1980, she moved to Umbria, in Spello. She has been invited to the most important engraving reviews: the Venice Biennale (1956), the Venice Black and White Biennial, the Rome Quadrennial and the national and international exhibitions organized at the National Chalcography of Rome. His works have been presented at the Michel Gallery in Paris, at the Stockholm National Museum, at the National Chalcography of Rome, at the International Rossetti Library in Rome, at the Prandi Library in Reggio Emilia. Her works are present at the InClub Publishing House in Florence and the Galaverni Saletta in Reggio Emilia. The following wrote about Fiorella Diamantini: Mino Maccari, Italo Cremona, Valeria Vecchia, Arnoldo Ciarrocchi, Lorenza Trucchi, Alberto...
