Giovanni Stradone Art

Giovanni Stradone, Italian painter and artist. While he was completing his classical studies, he attended the atelier of the painter Ferruccio Ferrazzi towards the end of the 1920s. In 1939, Stradone exhibited his first solo show at the Galleria del Tevere followed three years later by the one at Galleria di Roma. In the 1940s, according to Venturoli, Virgilio Guzzi, Ercole Maselli and Antonello Trombadori, his personality acquired a new tonal chromatism with a reference to expressionism. Stradone exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1948, 1950 and 1954. In 1950, he sent the Apotheosis of Bartali to the Biennale, which had already been exhibited at the Gioisi gallery in Rome in 1948 and which will be censored for its irreverent and caricatural role.
