- Raffaele Frumenti -

Raffaele Frumenti (1922 – 2002) born in Rome in Borgo Pio, the old Papal quarter. A painter by vocation, he showed the ability to express himself artistically from a young age, when for pure fun he built small theater sets, taking care of 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 figures resemble cardinals who at the same time evoke circus clowns, in a world of ghosts arising from his subconscious, perhaps a legacy of a childhood spent peeking inside St. Peter's Basilica.

Raffaele Frumenti's painting is, in formal terms, essentially a painting of color: a most precious color experienced as a kind of visual music that unfolds through variations of timbre and tonalities, in a triumph of sparkling brushwork. A painting of pleasant sensations. He also had the honor of executing a three-panel mural painting in the atrium of the middle school of S. Basilio in Rome, commissioned by the Fine Arts. He designed the cover for the book Polizia in azione. He was a teacher of Artistic Drawing at the State Middle School “Benvenuto Cellini.”
