However, he participated with his uncle Angelo Trezzini (brother-in-law of Domenico Induno) in the 1859 campaign. He also attended Brera from 1853 to 1858. In '66 he put down roots in Davesco from where he rarely moved and this was perhaps a limitation for his painting. However, he participated in Italian exhibitions (e.g., in Asti, at the Esposizione artistico industriale where he received a medal in 1869, in Milan in 1872 and 1881, in Turin in 1880 with Veduta di Davesco and in 1884 with Ottobre). In '75 he received the Mylius prize. He was a painter almost exclusively of landscapes ("monogamous painter almost without infidelity," Adriano Soldini); he always had to deal with economic problems, selling, indeed selling out, his canvases to Germanic tourists. Sometimes he composed portraits, much more rarely dealt with genre painting (The Lesson, with the Capuchin friar schooling, in a kitchen interior, two little girls). His landscapes are almost always precise views, caught in plein air, of Lake Lugano seen from Davesco, from Cureggia, from Paradiso. He was, in Martinola's words, a "mountain" and "lake" painter. Preda, while painting from life, never lapses into trite verism or even, despite the repetition of the subject, into boredom. His paintings are populated by figures: peasant women with their panniers, washerwomen (where some echoes of Moses Bianchi can perhaps be traced), or "fine" ladies with their parasols open to shelter from the sun. Sometimes he went as far as Campione (Madonna dei Ghirli) or Lake Maggiore, Engadine, Liguria, but never to Lake Como. He probably did not even go to Holland, although there are some of his canvases depicting mills and Dutch landscapes, perhaps executed directly from photographs. Other times in his landscapes he inserted animals, cows, goats (Cows at the watering trough), donkeys (Seven Donkeys at the Fountain, Palizian in its rendering of fur). He was bound by deep friendship with another Ticinese, Luigi Monteverde, who, one summer in 1888, rented a roccolo on Mount Boglia, hosting his friend Preda (this is what he would say in an interview that appeared in the newspaper "Genevois" in 1894: "Nous vécûmes toujours dans la plus parfaite harmonie: la peinture ne nous divisa jamais").

(Codogno (LO) 1861 - Mezzegra (CO) 1944)Cm 90x140 | In 35.43x55.12Oil on canvasA pupil of Giuseppe Bertini at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, he made his debut in 1879 with two perspective views of interiors. After a stay in Verona, during which he devoted himself to the execution of his first landscapes en plein air, he settled in Milan, where he established himself as a landscape painter from 1882. His participation in the 1887 National Art Exhibition in Venice marked an important success and assured him notoriety beyond regional borders. He was also present at several Milan Triennials, the Paris Exposition of 1900, Munich and Vienna, where he was awarded a gold medal. In 19 16 he ordered a -big exhibition in Milan at the Pesaro Gallery. Among his best-known works are: Cattivi affari (1885), Torna il sole and Vento (1887); Marascari and Sopra i monti di Erbesio (1889); Pesci and Torna il sereno (1890); Mare a Sampierdarena and Tramonto sereno (1895); Libeccio menaccioso, Tempo triste and Ritratto di mia moglie (1898); Spiaggia viva (1920); La notte si avvicina (1929). His paintings are preserved, as well as in private collections, at the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan (Visions of Peace, 1908); the Revoltella Museum in Trieste (Serene Sunset); the Museum of Brooklyn, New York (Spring Waterfall, 1894); the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence (Twilight, 1914); and the Museo Civico in Turin (Symphony, 1892; Last Teporos, 1907). From the early 1980s he approached the research of Lombard naturalism, specializing in the execution of seascapes, taken from life during summer stays in Sturla, Noli and Forte dei Marmi, but marked by poetic and evocative atmospheres. His prevalent activity as a landscape painter, in which he was engaged in the execution of extensive Alpine and Brianza views, was flanked by a minor production of portraits and still lifes. In the years between the two centuries he was influenced by the suggestions of Divisionist painting, but declined in a personal interpretation of light. He carried out an intense exhibition activity at major national and international exhibitions, culminating in the setting up of a personal room at the Venetian Biennale in 1914 and at the Pesaro Gallery in 1919. Among others he participated in the III International Art Exhibition in Venice in 1899. He died in Azzano, a hamlet of Mezzegra, Como, on April 12, 1944. He rests at the Monumental Cemetery in Milan.

(Fucine (TN) 1851 - Cles (TN) 1923)Cm 62x100 | In 24.41x39.37Oil on canvasOn February 6, 1851, Bartolomeo Teofilo Ismaele Bezzi, son of Domenico Bezzi, a surveyor and great art lover, and Luigia Taraboi, was born in Fucine d'Ossana in Val di Sole. In 1862 he was orphaned by his father. He left Fucine to seek his fortune as a peddler. After a few years, in 1870, tired of that kind of life, thanks to savings and the help of a cousin and his uncle Don Ambrogio, a priest in Pellizzano in Val di Sole, he decided to enroll in the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. Here he became a pupil of Giuseppe Bertini and in the course of his studies he soon made a name for himself and, already in his second year, managed to obtain mentions and medals with his works. During these years he also frequented a group of young artists with a renewing and anti-academic spirit and took an active part in debates on French Impressionism. In 1876 he has his first exhibition at the annual group show prepared by the academy. He presents Landscape and Impression. The following year he exhibits At the Well and Val Solandra. Two years later, he gained recognition with his work Valle di Rabbi, which impressed the commission with its colors that succeeded in making even those sharp and steep alpine landscapes softer and softer. In 1879 he was forced to abandon his academic studies because of his poor health. But not even the illness prevented him from continuing his work as an artist, enjoying enormous success, heartened by his friends, admirers, collectors and art lovers. During these years he opened his own studio in Milan but spent several days in Trent, where he portrayed the city on a canvas of vast proportions. This is also a testimony to how Bartolomeo Bezzi remains affectively attached to Trentino. Recurring episodes will be in the capital city as well as in Val di Non and Val di Sole. In Turin he was present at the Fourth National Exhibition of Fine Arts with the works Sul Tonale, Una via di Trento, La vigna, and Una frana in Val d'Adige. In 1881 at the National Exhibition in Brera he exhibited Il mio paesello, Ricordo dei bagni, again Sul Tonale and Confidenze. At age thirty-one, in 1882, he won his first major prize in Milan: the Fumagalli Prize. A few months later he received 4,000 liras for the work Pescarenico, purchased by Prince Ruspoli. During these years he lived between Verona and Milan. During the Verona period he painted several landscape-related works and some of them were exhibited at the Esposizione di Belle Arti in Rome: Verona along the Adige, Un mattino a Verona, Pescarenico, Mulini sull'Adige and Giornata d'Autunno. Here he finds great success but, of all his paintings, the one that receives the most attention is: Mulini sull'Adige. The work Mulini a Verona was purchased by the National Gallery of Modern Art. In 1884 in Turin, at the Italian National Exhibition organized by the Società Promotrice di Belle Arti, he presented Venice, Roman Campagna, Autumn, Memories of Rome, Gray Weather in Venice, Evening. At the Brera exhibition he exhibited Bambocci, Sito alpestre and Acqua morta, purchased by Count Aldo Annoni of Milan. Shortly thereafter he became an honorary member of the Brera Academy. He exhibited Sulle rive dell'Adige, in Milan in 1885 and the following year at a group exhibition in Berlin and finally in Venice in 1887 where he was purchased by King Umberto. In 1886 he participated in the inaugural exhibition of the newly formed Society for Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition in Milan with A Chioggia, Mulini a Verona, Paesaggio, Betulle and with the sketch Pescarenico. The following year he exhibited six works at the National Exhibition in Venice: Riva di Trento, Studio, Mestizia, Sulle rive dell'Adige, Paesaggio and Bosco ceduo, the latter painting, known as Bosco di birulle, in 1890 would be purchased for 500 florins by the Trento City Hall and placed in the city's Historical Museum. In 1888 at the Paris Exhibition he was awarded a prize for his work Falling Sun on Lake Garda, which would later be purchased by the Revoltella Museum in Trieste. The following year, he participated in an exhibition in Rome with Venezia che dorme, Armonie della sera, Raggio di luna and Amori dell'aria. He participated for the first time in the Universal Exhibition in Paris with Les bords d'un rivière. The same year he is named a Knight of the Order of St. Michael of Bavaria. He moved to Venice, where he lived on the Fondamenta delle Zattere, a neighborhood at the time frequented by many artists, poets and writers. Here he met realist and post-macchiaioli painters such as Guglielmo Ciardi, Luigi Nono, Silvio Rota, Alessandro Milesi and Mario de Maria. It was during this period, influenced by the Venetian artistic environment and especially by the works of Giacomo Favretto, that he abandoned, albeit briefly, landscape painting to devote himself to genre painting. Another important encounter is with the artist Pietro Fragiacomo and his fascinatingly luminous lagoon landscapes. In Venice, he lays the foundations of a project for an International Art Exhibition, which will materialize in the Biennale. Bezzi participated in all editions, from the first, in 1895, to that of 1914. Membership in the organizing committee enabled him to make numerous trips abroad, in 1897 to Scotland and England, in 1898 and 1901 to Germany, Austria and France, during which he came into contact with different international artistic languages. In 1891 he exhibited his work Spiaggia del Lido at the Brera Triennale in Milan. This painting is later awarded a silver medal at the 1893 Rome exhibition by the city's City Hall. In Munich he won the gold medal for the work Spring Night. In 1892 he went to Trent, where he was part of the jury to determine who should be entrusted with the creation of the monument to Dante in the square of the same name. Here he befriended Cesare Battisti and devoted himself to irredentist propaganda, participating in artistic events aimed at affirming the Italian character of Trentino. A few months later, during a visit to the home of Counts Cesarini Sforza in his homeland, he met Isabella Dal Lago of Cles and married her on September 26, 1892. The Ministry of Education awards him a gold medal for the painting Paesaggio trentino o Da Cles exhibited at the Turin exhibition. Three years later he was present at the first International Art Exhibition of the city of Venice with S. Michele all'Adige and Giorno di magro. In 1896 he participated in the Munich Secession Exhibition presenting the work Canal Grande in Venice. During this period he became acquainted with Secessionist floral art and Art Noveau however, he was not influenced by this vision of landscape softened by plant lines and decorative colors. Bezzi continued to cultivate a lyrical, twilight representation of nature that would characterize his production until about 1910. In 1897 he presented Prelude of the Evening at the Second Venice Biennale, and three years later he received a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris for the painting Day of the Skinny, executed in 1895. In 1899 he participated in the Third International Art Exhibition in Venice. At the 1901 Venice Biennale he presented the works, Autumn Vagueness, In the Evening and Night Calm. Two years later, at the Fifth Biennale: Morning on the Lake, Clear Night, The Trees, On the Shore of Lake Garda and First Snow. In 1905 his nervous illness began to worsen, but he still participated in the sixth Venice Biennale, presenting Fantasie dell'aria, Pescarenico and Acqua morta. Two years later his only solo art exhibition while alive is organized in Trent. In the same year he is in Turin with Notte di luna, in Venice with Sulle rive del Ticino, Mattino d'autunno, Tramonto and also travels abroad: to Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Valparaiso with the works Prima neve a Desenzano and Quiete del lago.

(Treviso 1812 - Venezia 1856 )Cm 50,5x73 | In 19.88x28.74Oil on canvasThe last descendant of an old, financially decayed family, he soon became fatherless and spent "the hottest years of his youth among music, painting, gymnastics and brilliant reading, without setting himself a career to pursue, a serious purpose to achieve" (Pesaro 1878, p. 96). After his mother's death, he married fellow citizen Ester Finzi, by whom he had three children, and decided to make painting a profession, becoming a good vedutista. Between 1843 and 1845 he moved to Rome for further education and had contact with Massimo d'Azeglio (1798-1866). During the uprisings of 1848 "he distinguished himself for patriotism, and on March 19, 1849 he was elected town councilor with a fine vote" (Pesaro 1878, p. 97). He was among the illustrators of the volume Album Estense, by Antonio Frizzi, published in Italian and French by Abram Servadio in 1850. In the same year he moved with his family to Venice, where he decided to devote himself to photography with remarkable results: at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855 his images of Venice were awarded a bronze medal. He died in Venice in 1856. Two of his views are displayed in the exhibition I Tal Ya: Island of Divine Dew, Two Thousand Years of Jewish Art and Life in Italy, curated by Vivian B. Mann, held at Palazzo dei Diamanti from March 18 to June 17, 1990.

(Badia Polesine (RO) 1856 - Urbino Pesaro 1903)Cm 108x57,5 | In 42.52x22.64Oil on canvasLuciano Nezzo (Badia Polesine, 1856 - Rovigo, 1903) showed from an early age a strong inclination toward painting and drawing. His first teacher was Marco Vallerini, a local painter. Later, encouraged and financed by a Venetian patron who had seen promising abilities in him, he moved to Venice to attend the Academy of Fine Arts. The ten years he spent at the Venice Academy under Pompeo Marino Molmenti (1819-1894) prepared him for academic painting and history subjects. After finishing his studies in 1875, in fact, he began to participate in the first exhibitions presenting paintings with a literary or historical matrix. Between painting and teaching in Urbino Soon, however, called up to arms, Luciano Nezzo was sent to Milan, where he decided to specialize at the Brera Academy. Once back in the Veneto, he was immediately appointed professor and then director of the Urbino Academy. As the years went by, the painter slowly separated himself from history painting to move forward into the creation of genre subjects of lively and witty anecdotal inspiration. His official debut was at the Florentine Exhibition of 1881, and from this time on, he participated in numerous important Italian exhibitions. He also won prestigious awards, such as the gold medal at the 1887 National Artistic Exhibition in Venice. Although by the critics of the time Luciano Nezzo is still defined as tied to academic drawing, his chromatic qualities and especially the steadfastness of the compositional framework are extolled, along with the no less important imagination of invention and execution. A certain rigidity in the search for precise and optically impeccable detail is certainly dampened by the simplicity and freshness of the scenes depicted. Indeed, dining rooms laden with food, outdoor love scenes, and curious depictions of interiors appear. He exhibited until 1898 and died in Rovigo in 1903. Some of his works are preserved at the National Gallery in Rome, Luciano Nezzo having exhibited with the Society of Amateurs and Culturists.

(Venezia 1879 - Venezia 1933)Cm 20x31 | In 7.87x12.20Oil on panelPainter Beppe Ciardi was born in Venice in March 1875. He completed his classical studies and studied natural sciences; but from childhood he had been trained in the secrets of painting technique by carefully observing the work of his father Guglielmo Ciardi. He attended the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, studying figure painting with Ettore Tito until 1899, when he successfully exhibited "Terra in fiore," now in the Marangoni Museum in Udine, and "Monte Rosa" in Venice. But already in 1894 he had exhibited in Milan, at the Castello Sforzesco, sixty studies from life, made between the ages of 15 and 19, for which he had real success. In 1900 at the Brera Exposition he won the Fumagalli Prize in 1901 a gold medal at the Munich International; in 1904 a silver medal at San Francisco of California and other awards at Exhibitions in Vienna, Brussels, Barcelona. He held solo exhibitions in Milan in Florence, Naples, Rome, Trieste, Brussels, and Liege. Among painter Beppe Ciardi's major works: "The Island of Madness"; "Shepherdess and Hay Wagon," purchased by the King; "The Tower of Tessera," in the Mussolini Gallery; "Flaps of Homeland," in the Academy of San Luca; "At the Spring," at the Chamber of Commerce; "On the Alps," "Saltimbanchi" and "White Cow" in the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome; "Cows at the Watering Trough," in the International Gallery in Venice; "The Two Cows," in the Luxembourg Museum in Paris; "White Clouds," in the collection of Sir William Ingram in England; "Sea Symphony," in the Rosenthein Collection in Paris; "Milkers," owned by Comm. Palleran of Buenos Aires; "Horse," in the Ricci Oddi Museum in Piacenza. An artist in love with nature, to which he scrupulously adhered, seeking to capture its most suggestive flashes and reflections of light, for more than forty years he worked uninterruptedly, producing a great quantity of works that are scattered all over the world among the best collectors. At the 1912 Venice Biennale he exhibited as many as forty-five works in a special room. At the Forty Years Exhibition (Venice 1935) he was given a "posthumous" exhibition with 27 works.

(Salerno 1858 - Sala Consilina (SA) 1911)Cm 35x48 | In 13.78x18.90Oil on canvasHaving learned his first rudiments from Gaetano D'Agostino, he was a student at the Reale Istituto di Belle Arti of Filippo Palizzi, Domenico Morelli and Stanislao Lista. His classmates were Giuseppe Avallone, Vincenzo Migliaro, Vincenzo Caprile, Giuseppe De Sanctis, Paolo Vetri, and Vincenzo Volpe, to whom he was also linked by affinity of taste. Present in almost all the exhibitions of the Promotrice Napoletana, starting in 1875, with a Studio dal vero, purchased by Enrichetta Vonwiller, he established himself in the 1877 National Exhibition with three genre paintings. At the promoters he presented: in 1876, the painting "A Moment of Sadness" and "Tunisian Sailor"; in 1882, "Va" and "Simm'arrivate," much appreciated by Francesco Netti, who, however, saw in them the danger of a "painting for painting's sake." in 1884 out of catalog, "Peppariello," which fell to Vincenzo Volpicelli; in 1885 "Chi vuol bene vede senza essere veduto"; in 1894 "In chiesa" and "Ricordo di Napoli"; in 1906 "La Grotta delle Ninfe" and "Palazzo Donn'Anna." In "1880" to compete for the pension, he had executed two sketches, "Christ Presented to the People" and "Christ and the Children" (Naples, Galleria dell'Accademia), as well as the large canvas "Christ Blesses the Children," exhibited in Turin in 1880 and purchased by the Ministry of Public Education for the Galleria dell'Accademia in Naples. He often used subjects of children in his genre paintings, letting himself be influenced by the patheticism of Antonio Mancini and his interest in rags and the material rendering of color. The color, however, in Esposito, while very rich, is polished and graduated in precious and accurate chiaroscuro, in the manner of Edoardo Dalbono. It is especially in the portraits, and particularly in the female pastel portraits, that the painter displays great virtuosity in mastering the tonal technique of seventeenth-century derivation. Among his portraits are that of "Architect Pisante," (1876; Naples, Galleria dell'Accademia), the somewhat rough one of "Vincenzo Migliaro" (Naples, formerly Casciaro Collection, now Banco di Napoli), that of "Architect Curri," and that of "Giacinto Gigante," taken from the portrait painted by Domenico Morelli in 1865. A famous painting, which is affected at the same time, by his skill as a portrait painter, and his experience as a "generalist" is: "In church," exhibited in Rome in 1893, in Munich in 1896 and in Milan in 1897 (formerly Naples, Casella Collection; now Salerno, Private Collection). A coeval work is then: "Waiting" (Naples, formerly Chiarandà Collection, now, D'Angelo Collection), which recalls, as a composition, Gioacchino Toma's "The Two Mothers." In the years straddling the two centuries he devoted himself to decorative paintings of some commitment, such as the frescoes at the Naples Chamber of Commerce or the decoration of the "plafond" of the Garibaldi Theater in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, with the "Apotheosis of Poetry." He was present in various national and international exhibitions, in Rome in 1883 with the work: "Da Posillipo", in Turin in 1884, among others with: "Primi palpiti"; in Milan in 1894 with: "Zingari", in Venice in 1895, in Rome in 1896, in St. Petersburg in 1898, in Rome in 1901, in London in 1904, in Milan in 1906. Awarded several times: in Florence (1896-1897), in St. Petersburg (1902, gold medal for the painting "In the Port of Naples"). He was among the exhibitors of the Neapolitan Society of Artists (later Circolo Artistico), but does not appear among the members from 1888 to 1891. He appears, however, briefly among the members of the "Circolo dei "Vomeresi,"" formed in opposition to the Circolo Artistico in the early twentieth century. In carefully observing seventeenth-century Neapolitan painting, Esposito was especially attracted to Jusepe de Ribera known as the Spagnoletto and Massimo Stanzione. From these studies, he derived a real painting of "values, in works such as, "From the Scoglio di Frisio," also known as "Palazzo Donn'Anna" (awarded and purchased at the 1893 Rome Fine Arts Exhibition for the National Gallery of Modern Art. That unfinished Baroque palace, the subject of numerous legends, where Esposito had fixed his abode as an authentic "deraciné," was one of his favorite themes, investigated to the point of obsession. He portrayed it, in fact, at various times of the day and in different weather conditions. The search for various effects of light never affected, however, the plastic firmness of the forms and he kept himself far from the coeval experimentalisms of avant-garde art. His life ended prematurely at only 53; feeling responsible for the death of a young model, Venturina Castrignani, whose love he had not reciprocated, he ended it by committing suicide. Works in public collections include: "Interior of the church of the Certosa di San Martino" (Naples, City Hall), "Temptation" (1883; Naples, formerly the Chiarandà Collection, today, Banco di Napoli, various "Studies" (Naples, Galleria dell'Accademia), "The Fisherman's Family" (Piacenza, Ricci-Oddi Gallery), "Return from Fishing" (Salerno, Provincial Council), "Old Fisherman" (Salerno, Provincial Museum), "Pacchiana and Mumarellara" (Salerno, City Hall). Two retrospectives were dedicated to him in the First Salerno Exhibition of 1927 and the Second of 1933. He died in Sala Consilina, Salerno, on April 7, 1911.

Bignami at the Brera Academy, where he exhibited for the first time in 1900 Rispha protecting the bodies of his children, which won the Gavazzi prize. In the early years of his career he enjoyed considerable success. In 1903 he won another prize in Milan with Christ and the Adulteress (Milan, Galleria d'arte moderna) and completed a cycle of wall decorations in the Church of the Friars on Via Farini; in the same year the Galleria d'arte moderna in Milan received L'onomastico del Parroco in tempera and pastel as a gift. Leaving biblical and historical subjects behind, he devoted himself to genre painting and portraits. In 1917 he won a gold medal in Milan with La Violinista.His Self-Portrait is at the Piacenza Gallery and two portraits of benefactors are at the Ospedale maggiore in Milan. At the Catholic University is Contardo Ferrini in A Glory of Angels, which was his last work of any renown. Interest in his painting waned after 1925, but he was always an honorary member of the Brera Academy, even when he retired to live near Cannobbio. He died in Cavaglio Spoccia, (Verbania) on Nov. 9, 1950. He mainly made use of a very virtuoso careful palette knife technique, completing his works without brush finishing, achieving effects of compact hues and glaze. He took no interest in the artistic problems that were being debated around him, adhering to the program of anecdotal verism that he soon set for himself.
