Carlo Quaglia was born in Terni, Rome. He completed his studies in Terni, where he graduated in accounting and violin at the Ricciardi Music Institute. He then entered the Academy of Modena, where he graduated in Economics and Commerce. Commanded as an officer in Libya, in the 1930s he served in Benghazi, Sirte and Derna, where he cultivated his passions, figurative arts and classical music. At the beginning of World War II, in 1940, Quaglia was taken prisoner by the British and transferred to India at Camp 27 of Yol, on the slopes of the Himalayas. He spent five years in prison, devoting himself to the study of the arts, practicing his first painting tests which led him to decide to become a painter. Upon returning to Italy, Quaglia took his leave and began his career as an artist. His was a short and fortunate career that led him to critical and public success. In his painting, we find, at times, the love of the colors of the Roman School which belonged to Scipione, Mario Mafai and Antonietta Raphaël. Quaglia died in Rome in 1970. He held solo exhibitions in Rome, Milan, Terni, Turin, Genoa, Livorno, Paris, New Haven and Montréal, participated in the Rome Quadrennial from the fifth edition of 1948 until the IX edition of 1965–66 and at various editions of the Venice Biennale. He taught from 1955–57 at the Accademia Roma per Stranieri together with Roberto Melli.
