Marcello Boglione made his debut as a painter at the Promotrice in Turin in 1909 and from 1922 he dedicated himself almost exclusively to engraving, also engaging in initiatives to disseminate and enhance engraved graphics. He was called in 1934 to replace Cesare Ferro, recently deceased, in the chair of Techniques of Engraving at the Albertina Academy, and in 1938 he obtained the professorship. In his works, as Campagna, he breathes a great calm, a measured love for the more contemplative aspects of nature in preference to the adventures of men which appear rarely and in the background, almost superfluous to the fuller expression of a trembling affection. Of him the journalist Paolo Cesarini wrote: “For Boglione it is clear, a tangle of smooth birch branches, a flowering chestnut canopy, the reflections of a canal, the pathetically crumpled petal are panicky events, motives of creative emotion that endure from the moment of discovery to the completion of the work.” Present at all the Venice Biennales held from 1932 to 1954, in 1940 Marcello Boglione received the Volpi di Misurata prize for engraving.
