Ugo Nespolo

Born in Mosso Santa Maria on 29 August 1941, Ugo Nespolo graduated from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts with Enrico Paulucci and graduated in Modern Literature with a thesis in Semiology. His beginnings in the Italian art scene date back to the 1960s.
Never absolutely tied to a trend, his production is immediately characterized by an accentuated ironic, transgressive imprint, for a personal sense of fun that will always represent a sort of trademark.
In the seventies Nespolo appropriates a second means of expression, cinema: in particular the experimental one, of the artist. The actors are artist friends, from Lucio Fontana to Enrico Baj, to Michelangelo Pistoletto.
The Eighties represent the heart of the "American period".

In 1990 the Municipality of Milan dedicated a major exhibition to him at the Palazzo Reale. From that moment to the present day, Nespolo continues with exhibitions throughout the national territory and also abroad, where its undisputed fame is recognized.
