Cappè was an artist who has been making sculptures since 1946 and his creations have been so successful that they have been imitated and plagiarized.

"Interior with thread spinner and sheep". Oil on tablet by Giuseppe Gheduzzi . The artist was born in Crespellano (BO) on 12 May 1889. Son of the painter Ugo, from whom he learned, like his brothers Cesare, Mario and Augusto, the first rudiments of art. He made his debut in Vignola in 1907 with the painting Alpine landscape. He refined his training in Turin at the Albertina Academy as a pupil of Andrea Marchisio and Paolo Gaidano. After leaving the Academy, he collaborates with his father for the realization of the stage sets for the Teatro Regio. Giuseppe is a skilled landscape painter: he paints Venetian glimpses and panoramas, views of the Piedmontese lakes and valleys and of the Ligurian Riviera. Unlike his brother Cesare, however, he also excels in interior paintings with figures and orientalist themes. Particularly appreciated by the public and critics are in fact his genre scenes and the paintings depicting interiors of workshops of artisans, antique dealers and stables. During his life Giuseppe participated in many reviews of the Promoter of Fine Arts in Turin and in the Circolo degli Artisti in Turin, and made several personal exhibitions. He died in Turin on May 21, 1957. Period: 1930s Measurements: In frame H 36 x W 28 x D 3 / Canvas H 20 x W 11,5 cm -

"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.

"Val d'Ayas" oil on canvas by Silvio Allason (1843-1912), signed and dated S.Allason 1909 lower left, in excellent condition. Silvio Allason (Turin 1845 - 1912), was first employed in the Ministry of War, but from around 1867 he devoted himself only to painting. After a stay in Florence, he was a pupil in Turin, at the Accademia Albertina, of E. Gamba and A. Gastaldi for the figure, studying however, at the same time, landscape with his cousin Ernesto and, upon his death, with E. Perotti . He began exhibiting at the Turin Promoter in 1869; in 1873 he had a notable success with the painting "In ambuato"; in 1876 he exhibited "The rescue". He made a specialty of the effects of moonshine with figures. He also exhibited in Milan, Naples, Paris (Salon of 1878), Nice, where one of his paintings "Among the rocks" was purchased for the Chéret Museum. Other works of his are in the Civic Museum of Turin. But an unknown title of Allison in landscape art is given by an infinity of studies from life, which he almost never showed, rich in superior elements, such as the wisdom and taste of composition, heroically patient drawing, simply effective technique and excellent color.
