After graduating from the Scuola di Arti e Mestieri in Livorno, Gino Romiti was a student of Guglielmo Micheli from 1897 to 1902 – where Amedeo Modigliani, Oscar Ghiglia, and Llewely Lloyd also studied – and came into contact with Giovanni Fattori, making his debut in 1898 at the Permanente in Milan, where he won the gold medal. He concluded his training with a brief stint at the Scuola del Nudo at the Accademia in Florence. An activist on the artistic and cultural scene in Livorno, he frequented the Caffè Bardi and was a friend of fellow citizen Benvenuto Benvenuti, thanks to whom in 1906 he met Vittore Grubicy and became interested in Divisionism, a technique he adopted until the mid-1920s, developing a highly personal language that happily combined Fattori’s rigorous drawing and Micheli’s tonalism with the luminous qualities of divided brushstrokes. In 1910 he took part in the Esposizione Internazionale di Belle Arti in Rome and the International Exhibition of Fine Arts in Brussels, achieving full affirmation in Italy and Europe. Recalled to war, between 1917 and 1918 he was in Albania, where he nevertheless managed not to abandon painting and drawing, to then return to his homeland and inaugurate the period of full stylistic maturity. In 1920 he was among the founders of the Labronico group, of which he was president from 1943 to 1967.
