Ugo Attardi

Ugo Attardi (* March 12, 1923 in Genoa, † July 20, 2006 in Rome) was an Italian painter, sculptor and writer.

The Ugo Attardi born near the Italian city of Genoa and raised in Palermo was one of the most popular artists in Italy. After the Second World War, he was co-founder of the group " Forma 1 ", which was established in 1945 as an association of artists in the field of abstract art. In subsequent years, his works were increasingly influenced by expressionism. Since the 1950s he was regularly represented at the Biennale in Venice. Italian museums dedicated to him numerous solo exhibitions and some of his sculptures can be seen worldwide, such as the statue of Aeneas in the Maltese city of Valletta. As a writer, he authored studies and novels, including the book L' erede selvaggio ( "Wild Heritage" ), for which he was awarded the prestigious 1971 Premio Viareggio.

Ugo Attardi died on 20 July 2006 at the age of 83 years in Rome.
