Part of his works are now in many private collections and museums. Cappè was an artist who drew inspiration from the strands of the great Italian Baroque-Alexandrian folk tradition of which the stuccos of Serpotta (Palermo), the Capodimonte porcelain and the Neapolitan mangers are the most typical and well-known examples. 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.

"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.
