Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) - La Ciociara

A unique work by one of the most significant and representative masters of the Italian New Realism movement, an internationally acclaimed artist famous for his décollage (the tearing of posters). He took part in numerous Venice Biennales, Rome Quadriennales, and public exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Most recently, his adopted city paid tribute to him with an exhibition held at the Royal Palace of Milan in 2014.

The work depicts an icon of its time and pays homage to one of the women he loved most, Sophia Loren, in a very famous film. It is a representative example of his most accomplished painting, dedicated to icons of Italian cinema. The work is protected by a Plexiglas case. It measures 97 x 70 cm and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a description signed by Dr. Piero Mascitti, one of the foremost scholars and experts on the master’s work, having spent decades with him in his studio.
