- Raffaele Frumenti -

Raffaele Frumenti (1922–2002), born in Rome in Borgo Pio, the old papal quarter. Painter by vocation, he demonstrated the ability to express himself artistically from a young age, when for pure amusement he built small theater stages, caring for the scenery and painting the backdrops. His painting is a colorful, melancholic, ironic, and captivating world that explodes in the representation of the human comedy. The works depict figures resembling cardinals who at the same time evoke circus clowns, in a world of ghosts that spring from his subconscious, perhaps a legacy of childhood spent peering inside St. Peter's Basilica.

Raffaele Frumenti’s painting, in formal terms, is essentially a painting of color: a very precious color experienced as a kind of visual music that is orchestrated through variations in timbre and tonalities, in a triumph of sparkling brushstrokes. A painting of pleasant sensations. Moreover, he had the honor of executing a triptych in mural painting in the atrium of the middle school of S. Basilio in Rome, by commission of the Fine Arts. He created the cover for the book Polizia in azione. He was a teacher of Artistic Drawing at the State Middle School “Benvenuto Cellini.”
