Treccani, Ernesto.  Painter and engraver was born in Milan in 1920 where he died in 2009. He was among the founders (1938) of the Corrente group, which in Milan brought together artists of different orientations but committed to the anti-fascist political struggle; he later participated in the Resistance. In the postwar period, consistently maintaining his political and civil commitment, he was among the most significant exponents of Italian neorealism. Founder and director, at age 18, of the magazine "Corrente," which was suppressed in June 1940 at the outbreak of war, he exhibited his first works at the Bottega di Corrente with his friends Birolli, Guttuso, Migneco, and Sassu, and later with Cassinari and Morlotti at the Galleria della Spiga and Corrente. His first solo exhibition, held at the Il Milione gallery in Milan, was in 1949.  In the 1950s, in addition to exhibiting several times at the Venice Biennale, he participated in the exhibition of realists at the Leicester Gallery in London and exhibited in New York with a solo show at the Heller Gallery. The author of works with an intense chromatic expressiveness, he found his main source of inspiration in the industrial suburbs and his experience in the Mezzogiorno
