Additional Information

Artist: Silvio Consadori (1909-1994)

Silvio Consadori was born in Brescia on December 17, 1909. He studied at the "Moretto" Institute of his city and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. His practical training, in the exercise of the fresco, takes place with fellow citizens Giuseppe and Vittorino Trainini and with Eliodoro Coccoli. The Brozzoni "scholarship" obtained in 1928 allows him to go to Paris where he remains for a few years. In 1936 the decisive meeting and falling in love with Burano takes place. In Milan in the same year he won the "Premio Milyus", and in '41 the "Canonica". Among the major national exhibitions in which he participated by invitation, the following should be mentioned: Rome Quadrennial, Venetian Biennial, Milan Permanent Biennial, Sacred Art Exhibitions at the Angelicum. Great was his commitment to religious art with the execution of frescoes, altarpieces, mosaics, in the churches and sanctuaries of Cascia, Oropa, Milan, Rome, in the Vatican. He was among the favorite artists of Paul VI. He taught at the Brera Academy between 1940 and 1973. Silvio Consadori died in his home-studio in Burano, where he is buried, on 1 August 1994. In 2009, as part of the events for the centenary of the artist's birth, Anna Maria Consadori and the Galleria Ponte Rosso simultaneously presented an important review of selected works, for the most part unpublished.
