Pino Procopio (Guardavalle, June 16, 1954) is an Italian painter, sculptor, and illustrator, and a representative of figurative art. He began his art studies in Catanzaro and completed them in Rome. In 1982, he graduated in architecture from Sapienza University of Rome.
In 1980, the “La Bitta” art center hosted his first solo exhibition. After spending two years in Verona, he settled in Giulianova, Abruzzo, in 1985.
In 2001, the “Fondazione Italiana Stauròs Onlus” invited him to exhibit at the Staurós Museum of Contemporary Sacred Art in San Gabriele. His work “Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit” is now part of the museum’s permanent collection.
The following year, in 2002, he created the painting for the poster for “World Book and Copyright Day,” sponsored by UNESCO.
In 2003, the State Monopolies commissioned him to create the painting to be featured on the European Lottery ticket, and in 2004 he was commissioned to create the painting that would appear on the Italy Lottery ticket.
In 2005, the Ministry of Communications sponsored an exhibition of his work in Rome, telling the story of the evolution of the Italian postal service over 100 years.
In 2007, the Pescara Committee of the “Società Dante Alighieri” awarded him the “Dante Alighieri 2007” prize in the Art category.
The following year, in 2008, the Boncompagni-Ludovisi Museum of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome mounted “Ulysses, Scenes from a Journey,” an exhibition dedicated to him.
In 2015, in Rome, he took part in the group exhibition Corporate Art at the National Gallery of Modern Art (GNAM), which explored the close relationship between industrial patronage and art.
In 2017, at the Palazzo dello Sport in Teramo, with the support of UNESCO and MIUR, the exhibition “Baadaye, Pinocchio of Africa” was held—a modern reinterpretation of the Pinocchio story linked to the tragedy of immigration.
In 2019, the Municipality of Ascoli Piceno commissioned him to create the Palio for the historic August Quintana jousting tournament.
Also in 2019, he held two solo exhibitions: first at the Palazzo del Pegaso of the Tuscany Regional Government in Florence, and subsequently at the Museum of the People of Abruzzo in Pescara.
In 2020, he held a solo exhibition at the Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo in Ascoli Piceno, focused on the chivalric theme of the Quintana, with the support of the Municipality of Ascoli Piceno, Ascoli Musei, and the Marche Region.
In 2021, with the support of the Marche Region and the Municipality of Recanati, he was invited to hold a solo exhibition focused on the poet Giacomo Leopardi at the great hall of Recanati’s town hall.
In 2022, he held a solo exhibition at the Magazzini del Sale in Siena, sponsored by the Tuscany Region.
