Lemmo was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, under the guidance of Silvestro Valeri (1814 -1902), one of Minardi's students at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He then moved to Rome, where he completed his training. Perrone of San Martino a Custoza in 1866 He painted paintings inspired by military themes of the Risorgimento, according to taste and favoring certain artistic expectations of the time. His battle of Custoza was presented in Milan and Rome, in 1879 [1]. He participated in various exhibitions, with battle subjects treated with narrative air, such as the charge of General Kellerman in Marengo, a painting that was exhibited in Milan in 1887. He participated in the National Exposition of Turin in 1880, attracting the interest of the Savoy. He painted the portrait of the Prince of Naples, exhibited in London in 1888. He frescoed the lunette in the Great Hall of the University of Perugia. In the early 1900s, Lemmo Rossi-Scotti made various decorations at Villa Lubin (formerly the headquarters of the International Institute of Agriculture and now the headquarters of the CNEL) in Rome: in stucco and painting, the ceilings of the reception hall, called "Sala Gialla”, with The Triumph of Ceres, followed by the procession of nations, the decorations of the two symmetrical side rooms and the grand staircase. Lemmo Rossi-Scotti has also painted landscapes and subjects inspired by current themes, wrapping them in a delicate, soft and dreamy atmosphere. In 1891, together with Annibale Brugnoli, he represented the art world in the Committee to erect a monument to Perugino in Perugia. The Etruscan School and In Art Libertas, created by the Roman painter Nino COSTA, participated in the artistic associations. The friendship with the protagonists of these two groups of artists and with English painters connected to them, favored cultural exchanges between Rome and Perugia. Lemmo Rossi-Scotti hosted his artist friends in his villa Santa Petronilla, near Perugia, on the second kilometer of the Via Eugubina.
