CACCIARINI // ITALY
Gianni Cacciarini's paintings and etchings are a major driving force of contemporary Italian Realism. In Florence he first trained as an architect as well as a painter and engraver. He also studied under the portrait painter, Pietro Annigoni. Cacciarini's first published etchings and engravings date from 1973. The following year he received an award for his etched art from the Fourth International Biennial of Graphics at the Palazzo Strozzi. Since then his fine etchings and paintings have been included in major exhibitions in Rome, Florence, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, New York and elsewhere.

Recently the art of Gianni Cacciarini was featured at an exhibition at the Picker Art Gallery, Colgate University. For the exhibition Mary Ann Calo wrote,
"Cacciarini creates a personal universe ... His studio in Florence has been described as a cluttered space in which objects dwell ' like words in a dictionary waiting to be used'. Invoking both the technical perfection of 17th century painting and the so-called metaphysical vision of early 20th century Italian modernism, these images are marked by a consistent but strangely remote sense of the real."
Today the fine art of Gianni Cacciarini is included in such institutions as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the National Gallery, Washington DC, and the Uffizi, Florence.
