Lucio Todeschini was part of a family of artists. His father, Giambattista, was an established painter during the late 19th century in Lombardy, so much so that Todeschini had been his pupil. Upon returning from the Libyan War, he exhibited his impressions from Africa at the "Società Artisti e Patriottica" and received the gold medal. Subsequently he devoted himself to painting morally patriotic subjects and to designing advertising posters. Although his profession was architect, he soon moved to Cortenova in the province of Como, where he spent much of his time painting, mainly flowers, still lifes, and landscapes of the Valsassina. His painting is tinged with a refined poetic and elegant feeling, solid in mastering the technical means of drawing and color, following the Lombard landscape school of the late 19th century. Todeschini, for his shy character, hardly ever exhibited in solo or public exhibitions. Because of this, reconstructing his catalog and artistic biography is difficult. Died in Cortenova on March 8, 1969.
