Gianni Cacciarini Figurative Paintings

Gianni Cacciarini was born in Florence, Italy, in 1941. In 1973, he realized a folder of six engravings The screws, presented at the gallery of the antiquarian Giovanni Conti, where the artist's first contact with the public takes place. To the activity of engraver, for which he gets the first recognitions Cacciarini approaches now the study of the painting, under the discreet and affectionate guide of Annigoni. Maria Pia Gonnelli, in January 1978, offered Cacciarini the first opportunity to exhibit the engravings in a solo show, at the Antiquarian Bookshop. In addition to the Viti and the Fabbriche, there are the first still lifes and urban views. From the trip to England in 1978, performed together with his friend Roberto Coppini, the English Suite was born, composed of poems by Coppini and four etchings by Nostro, which do not illustrate those texts inspired by landscapes. In 1980, the moment of the first painting exhibition arrived. The scenarios that Gianni created with objects live in the atmospheres of places that were highly evocative. But in 1985, Cacciarini dedicated himself with passion to another work, the restructuring, together with Daniele Cariani, of the rooms on the ground floor of the Visacci-Guicciardini palace in Borgo degli Albizi.
