Italian Version
Faccincani Athos:
Athos Faccincani was born on January 29th 1951 at Peschiera del Garda.
Influences
During 1963 and 1964 he attended the studio of Pio Semeghini, and
around the end of the ‘sixties the studios of Seibezzi, Novati and
Gamba. In 1971 he organised his first exhibition at “Il Salotto” Gallery
in Desenzano, and sponsored by the local government held his first
personal exhibition in the Historical Palace of Peschiera del Garda,
which was again repeated in December 1975. On October 26th 1975 he
married Rita Campanardi and on November 10th 1978 their first son,
Mattia, was born.
His life
On October 26th 1975 he married Rita Campanardi and on November 10th
1978 their first son, Mattia, was born. As a young man he was a
nature-lover, a rebel and free as a horse; he has continued to be a
rebel, his pictures, full of light and colour, always portray simply and
joyfully how his life is to be. He roams between reality and dreamland
in the saddle of a horse and on the waves of fantasy. Reality, fantasy
and painting which now, more than ever, man feels the need of to express
his values.
Initiatives
Around 1977 Faccincani started to organise humanitarian and charity
initiatives, as well as literary sessions with poetry reading. Many of
his most precious friendships are connected with the theatre world:
Carlo Cristiani, Paola Borboni and Toti dal Monte, to mention just a
few.
