About the artist
Lino Bianchi Barriviera (Barriviera is his mother's surname that he added to his father's in 1933), was a painter and engraver. After the early years of his youth, he lived in Venice and Florence, settled permanently in Rome in 1935 and at the end of the 70s he moved to Acilia. The artist's fame is linked above all to his large production as an engraver, more than 950 plates, for which he mainly used etching but also experimented with various other techniques. It should also be noted that he also performed masterfully in other forms of art, first of all oil painting, and then wall frescoes and tempera decorations, wood carving, stained glass, mosaics, ceramics, embossing, stamp engraving and goldsmithing.
