--HISTORICAL, ARTISTIC, AND BIOGRAPHICAL PATHWAY--

Historical, Artistic and Biographical Path
Pietro Pantino was born in Palermo in 1941, and already at the age of five he showed a marked passion for drawing.

At seven years old he is drawn to painters who dedicate themselves to the decoration of Sicilian carts. At ten he paints his first picture, using a faesite support found accidentally on the street. At twelve he begins to learn the first basics from his first master Ernesto Crispino and, a few years later, attends Professor Albano Rossi who guides him to study anatomy and advises him to enroll in the art high school.

In 1957 the latter enables him to exhibit in a collective show sponsored by the municipality of Palermo and the Tourism Authority. On this occasion he is noticed by art critic Carlo Battaglia, who dedicates to him in the newspaper “Grido alla Sicilia” an article. In this review he achieves good critical and public success.
----During these years at the Palermo Art High School----

and with Professor Gino Morici he studies decoration, drawing from life, cinematic and theatrical scenography.

In 1959 he meets other painters and from them learns various techniques and secrets of painting. The artist during this period also studies sculpture with Francesco Messina and Giuseppe Genovese and attends the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo. From this experience he acquires a rich baggage and a special artistic preparation, especially in constructive, professional figurative and architectural drawing, also making marble sculpture while learning to model clay.

Concurrently he learns the fresco technique and during this period works in the church “Casa Professa” in Palermo. In 1961 Pantino designs large-scale shaped works and stands for the “Mediterranean Fair.”

Soon after he meets the master professor Sabatino Mirabella, an excellent landscape painter, and from the painter Mirabella arises admiration and friendship for the artist. A few years later he designs small architectural structures, illustrates boards for calendars, postcards, fashion magazines, sacred images, panels and film posters as well as sketches for slides. In 1971 he moves to Rome, a city dear to him. Here Pantino begins a new journey by establishing friendships and contacts with art critics.

A predominantly academic artist by temperament, studies and titles, over the years he has had numerous students and is a careful scholar of Caravaggio. He is now present in many collections.
