- Pio Serafini was born in 1951 in Ascoli Piceno; he is an architect, musician, and painter. He embodies the role in the deepest sense because, in addition to often choosing the Piceno territory as the preferred subject of his work, he is also the custodian of a painterly tradition typically from Ascoli: together with an evident influence of the finest French Post-Impressionist painting, from Cézanne to Chagall, Serafini’s work sits in the line of the illustrious Ascoli painters Dino Ferrari and Ernesto Ercolani, the starting point for a highly original inner deformation of the visual element.

The exploration of environments, typically silent and devoid of human presence, is always an inner search, which inclines toward urban agglomerations and fields, the mountains and the skies, as if the wave of memory and recollections crashes against reality itself, bending it, rendering its evanescent contours and distinctive features faint. The color, which captures and draws the eye into the composition, is also expressive, often anti-naturalistic, with tones sometimes bright, sometimes dark, capable of condensing light into the volumes of the depicted subjects: the Marche landscapes, with the countryside becoming tapestries composed of the 'stuffs' of the different crops, but also the city of Ascoli, with its typical immobile and solitary towers like metaphysical relics; and then the animals of the still-living rural tradition, among which the rooster stands out, a recurring element in his work, treated in a quasi-futurist manner, a convergence and explosion of dynamic lines and bright colors, a true "trait d'union" between tradition, emotional intensity, and compositional dynamism.
