Giulio Da Vicchio ( Vicchio di Mugello 1925-Livorno 2004)

Real name Giulio Rontini, son of the painter Ferruccio, takes the stage name Da Vicchio to distinguish himself from his father. He began, painting from life, under his father's guidance, his real activity began in 1944 in Vicchio, a town in Mugello where he was born and where his family had taken refuge during the war, at the end of which they returned to Livorno. In 1952, he made his debut with a personal exhibition at Bottega d'Arte, Livorno. He then went on a journey that took him to northern Europe, from this experience numerous paintings were created depicting the people and cities he visited, the same happened in 1959 when he went to Sicily for the first time. He loved to portray the people busy with typical local jobs and was able to capture the different atmospheres. Sicily would be a big change for him. his palette would become brighter, colours dazzling, holes, bright. Exhibitions and one-man shows followed one another throughout his career, right up to his final years.
