Maestro Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911. From a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, studying philosophy, before dedicating himself, as a self-taught artist, to artistic research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believed that only through art could the divine be reached. This idea would underpin his entire body of work:
"I try to empty myself – Gentilini declared – This emptiness provokes a certain catharsis in me: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I re-evaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward a sign never imagined."
He was an artist who practiced asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.

The painting will be carefully packaged and shipped by express courier with tracking."
