Tullio Pericoli (1936) - Langhe

Tullio Pericoli was born in Colli del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno) in 1936. Since 1961 he has lived in Milan where he established himself as a painter and draftsman.
From the 1970s he began collaborating with the magazine "Linus", with Corriere della Sera (from 1974) and with the weekly "L'Espresso".
Meanwhile he exhibited his works in Milan, Parma, Urbino and at Olivetti in Ivrea. He produced the drawings for the educational edition of the volume Robinson Crusoe for Olivetti and, in 1985, exhibited them in Milan (at the Padiglione di Arte Contemporanea), Bologna, Genoa and Rome. In 1984 he collaborated with the "Repubblica".
In 1990 comes the turn of Ritratti arbitrari, published in Italy by Einaudi. The artist's solo exhibitions continue, with shows in Milan, Paris and Monaco. He receives the Gulbransson Award from the Olaf Gulbransson Museum in Tegernsee; his works are exhibited in Bamberg, Frankfurt and New York. In 2004 Pericoli held, at the National Museum of Palazzo Venezia in Rome, an exhibition of the large paintings created at Carlo Caracciolo's residence in Torrecchia. In 2013 Adelphi published the anthology volume I Paesaggi. A portion of the works contained in the volume forms part of an exhibition hosted by MART in Rovereto the following year.
