Biography
Silvio Allason (Turin, April 16, 1843 - Turin, May 13, 1912) was an Italian painter.
Formerly employed at the Ministry of War in Turin and then in Florence, around 1867 he decided to follow in the footsteps of his cousin Ernesto Allason, devoting himself entirely to painting. To this end he enrolled at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, where he was a pupil of Enrico Gamba and Andrea Gastaldi, and with Edoardo Perotti he studied landscape privately, a specialty that was to be the prevailing theme of his paintings.
He made his debut by exhibiting in 1869 at the Promotrice in Turin with the landscape Il Sangone and at the Circolo degli artisti with Vicinanze di Stura; he then exhibited in Milan, Naples, the 1878 Paris Salon, Genoa, Venice, and Nice, where his painting Fra gli scogli was purchased by the Chéret Museum.
