  • "San Grato Di Aosta with the head of the Baptist" oil on canvas from the first half of the 18th century. The work has been restored. An important legend flourished on the account of San Grato, now proven to be completely anachronistic, which goes by the name of Magna legenda Sancti Grati and is attributed to canon Jacques des Cours, who lived in the 13th century. The story of the discovery of the head of St. John the Baptist, a relic often associated with San Grato in popular iconography, dates back to this tradition. Beheaded by a whim of the beautiful Salome, the head of the Forerunner by order of King Herod Antipas was buried in a well separated from his body, for fear that he might miraculously rejoin it and John might rise again. Grato had a vision from the Lord, in which he was shown the secret location of the burial. He left Aosta in the company of his companion Giocondo, received the Pope's blessing in Rome and then embarked for the Holy Land. During the crossing, a great storm broke out, which threw terror among the sailors, but Grato, raised his arms to the sky, which instantly returned calm. When he arrived in Macheron, near the ruins of Herod's castle, an angel guided him, taking him by the hand and leading him to the well where the head of the Baptist had been for centuries. Immediately the relic rose to the surface and settled in Grato's outstretched palms. Period: First half of the 18th century Measurements: H 110.5 x W 97 x D 2 cm

  • "The black and white cat" - Oil on tablet by Lorenzo Delleani dated 11.9.82 DELLEANI LORENZO. Born in Pollone (Biella) on January 17, 1840, died in Turin on November 13, 1908. He studied at the Accademia Albertina, a pupil of Gamba for drawing, then of Carlo Arienti and Andrea Gastaldi, graduating in 1862 when he had already made his debut at the Promoter of Fine Arts in 1855 and established itself there in 1860 with an episode of the siege of Ancona. According to the romantic interests of his time, he initially dedicated himself to historical re-enactment painting, to arrive at more spontaneous research on the truth with interior studies, environment and views of Genoa, Venice and the surroundings of Turin, as well as Pollone and Paris. At the Turin national exhibition in 1880 the Ministry of Grace and Justice bought him the vast canvas Caterina Grimani Dogaressa, while critics showed a preference for "In the garden". The following year, in Milan, alongside Sebastiano Veniero who presents the prisoners of Lepanto, he exhibited Quies, which earned him numerous acclaim, such as to induce him to abandon historical subjects to devote himself to the landscape, establishing himself for its genuineness and brightness. In addition to the large canvases destined for the numerous national and international exhibitions, in which he participated in Italy and abroad, Delleani linked his name to a vast pictorial production made almost exclusively on small panels, "among the most convincing things of Italian landscape 'age' (Lavagnino). Among his disciples we remember: Giuseppe Bozzalla, Sofia di Bricherasio, Giuseppe Buscaglione, Luigi Cantò, Giuseppe A. Levis, Angela Meucci, Camilla Bergonzio, Emilia Ferrettini Rossotti, Enrico Reycend. Delleani was in Paris and Bern in 1878, in Holland in 1883, Switzerland in 1892, but for his paintings he aimed above all at the motifs that nature and the environment could suggest to him during his periodic stays in the Biellese, in Venice, in Rome, on the Riviera , in Monferrato.

  • "Garibaldi" - Oil on canvas by Teofilo Patini (1840-1906) PATINI TEOFILO. Born in Castel di Sangro (L'Aquila) on May 5, 1840, died in Naples on November 16, 1906. He moved to Naples at a very young age, after graduating in Fine Arts; he enrolled at the Institute of Fine Arts, where Filippo Palizzi was teaching at the time. During the courses he easily won several prizes and finally obtained a pensioner to go to Rome, where he studied deeply the ancient masters and in particular those of the seventeenth century. He also was strongly influenced from Dutch paintings, but, above all, it was the Meissonnier who conquered him. He first dealt, for a short period of time, with the historical picture; then, with his sensitive and scornful soul, as an attentive observer of the events of human life, he gave himself to social painting, expressed with a strong and meticulous verism. His masterpiece is L'erede, which was exhibited in Milan in 1881 and is now found in the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome with Spade and Milk, exhibited in Turin in 1884. Other important paintings of his are: Il Parmigianino; The sack of Rome, of the Municipality of Naples; Art and freedom; Salvator Rosa's studio, exhibited in Turin in 1880 and in Vienna; Every good boot becomes a slipper; The first riding lesson, which is owned by the baritone Titta Ruffo; Pack animals, sent to Venice in 1887; Rocky landscape, in the M.O. collection of Milan; The riding lesson, in the Borgogna Museum of Vercelli; The country doctor; Belly and heart; The company of death: After defeat; The good ones; The notables of my country; The eagle; The caralluccio; Return to the sheepfold; The chain. Patini also tried, with less success, the sacred subject, and the paintings are remembered in this regard: Gloria del Sacramento; The temptations of Saint Anthony; Christ in the garden; The Redeemer; Christ raises the widow's son; The Annunziata; Il Purgatorio: The Crucifix; The Guardian Angel; Sant'Antonio di Padova; San Carlo Borromeo. There are also the sketches for the decorations of the Aula Magna of the University of Naples (work that, for the artist's death, remained unfinished), and the frescoes in the hall of the City Council of the same city. His students include M. Dragonetti Cappelli, E. Rubei, Vittor Scarselli.

    "Woman lying with blue vase" by Armando Spadini, oil on canvas signed on the lower right and dated 1902 on the back. The painting, although in excellent condition, needs cleaning. Armando Spadini (Poggio Caiano 1883 - Rome 1925) studied at the Institute of Fine Arts in Florence for a short time, visiting museums and exhibitions on his own, and assimilating, with his sensitivity, the joyfullness of colours, which is expressed personally, but not too far from the Venetian and French painters. Precisely this great love for the festive colours, for the transparent clarity, for the solar luminosity is showed in all his works, without the tormenting research that often characterized the work of the Impressionists. He is a painter superior to his time, to his environment; Emilio Cecchi considers him, like Antonio Mancini, the strongest pictorial temperament that arose in Italy after the end of the 18th century. Having won the competition for national retirement for painting in Florence in 1910, he settled in Rome, where he remained until his death, keeping on painting. He participated, but not so often, in various Roman and Florentine exhibitions, and in 1918 he held a solo show at the Casina Valadier in Rome. In 1924 at the Venice Biennale he had a room, where only his works had been displayed. Many of his works are in public and private galleries in Italy, in Paris, in Buenos Aires, in Lima. At the VI Quadriennale in Rome, in 1952, a commemorative exhibition took place with eighteen works. His works were also present at the 1956 edition of the same event.
