Born in 1902 in Turin, Osvaldo Medici Del Vascello was part of the group of Italians from Paris. In the 1920s, he regularly exhibited imaginary and mysterious architecture inspired by the landscapes of France or Italy at the autumn salon. In the 1930s he painted surrealist still lifes with shells and white plaster busts. After the Second World War he exhibited geometric abstractions. He died in Florence in 1978.
