Born in Genoa in 1922, in 1938 he enrolled at the Liceo Artistico Nicolò Barabino in Genoa[1], where he met Professor Mario Calonghi, a figure of great cultural stimulus for his early education. Four years later, he had his first solo exhibition at the Salone Romano in Genoa. In the same year, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Milan.
After marrying Giorgina Graglia in 1946, he went to Paris for the first time in 1947 where he stayed for some time and met poets and artists such as Édouard Jaguer, Wols and Camille Bryen. The Parisian experience was to prove fundamental in his stylistic development, particularly for the echoes of post-Cubism, which he assimilated and interpreted in a personal key as early as 1948, when he exhibited at the Isola Gallery in Genoa.
In 1949, Sebastiano, the first of two children, was born. In 1950 he exhibited at the 25th Venice Biennale. The following year, on the occasion of a solo exhibition at the Apollinaire Gallery, he lived for some time in London, where he met and frequented Philip Martin, Eduardo Paolozzi, Graham Vivian Sutherland and Francis Bacon. In the same year, he opened his first studio in Milan in an attic in Foro Bonaparte. On these occasions Guido Ballo and the gallery owners Guido Le Noci and Arturo Schwarz took charge of his work.
The following year, 1952, he also worked in the Ceramiche Mazzotti factory in Albissola Marina, where he met numerous artists and became friends with some of them.

Born in 1918 in Catanzaro into a middle-class family, in 1945 he moved to Rome where he frequented the young avant-garde made up of the exponents of Gruppo Forma 1 (Carla Accardi, Ugo Attardi, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo and Giulio Turcato).
After his figurative beginnings and early experiments, he began to paint abstract-geometric pictures inspired by the works of Vasilij Kandinskij and Piet Mondrian.
In 1950, he exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles.
In February 1951, he participated in the exhibition 'Abstract and Concrete Art in Italy - 1951' organised by Palma Bucarelli and Giulio Carlo Argan at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome.
In 1951 he was awarded a scholarship by the Fulbright Foundation, which allowed him to go to the United States as an 'Artist in Residence' at the University of Kansas City.
In 1952, he held his second solo exhibition at the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City.
For Harvard University, he completed a performance of epistaltic poetry. In the autumn he returned to Rome, devoting himself to phonetic production.
In 1953, he realised that the pictorial medium was no longer a suitable medium for the expression of his poetics and suddenly had what he called a 'Zen enlightenment': the discovery of the advertising poster as an artistic expression.
This is how décollage was born: Rotella took pieces of posters torn off the street from the walls of Rome and glued them to the canvas, then reworked them in the studio, adopting the collage of the Cubists and contaminating them with elements borrowed from an informal matrix close to Hans Arp and Jean Fautrier and with the Dadaist ready-made. Still in 1955, Carlo Cardazzo organised an exhibition entirely dedicated to décollage and retro d'affiches in his Galleria del Naviglio in Milan.
His works are exhibited in London, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA).
In 1958 he took part in the exhibition 'New Trends in Italian Art' organised by Lionello Venturi at the Rome branch of the Rome-New York Art Foundation. The following year he met the French critic Pierre Restany, with whom he began a long association.
In 1960 he joined the Nouveau Réalisme of which Pierre Restany was the theoretician and which brought together, among others, Yves Klein, Spoerri, Tinguely, César, Arman, Christo and Niki de Saint Phalle.
Along with décollages, Rotella also executed assemblages and ready-mades with objects purchased from junk dealers such as bottle caps, ropes, wicker baskets and pieces of fabric.
In May 1961 he exhibited in the historic exhibition À 40° au-dessus de Dada, curated by Restany at Galerie J in Paris. In 1962, the same French gallery hosted the series of works inspired by the world of cinema on the occasion of the 'Cinecittà' exhibition.
His décollages from the early 1960s are characterised by the presence of stars of the silver screen and music such as Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley.
During this last exhibition, his work was compared with artists from France (Arman, Christo, Raymond Hains, Yves Klein, Martial Raysse, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely), Italy (Enrico Baj, Gianfranco Baruchello, Tano Festa, Mario Schifano), and the USA (Peter Agostini...
