Luigi Pericle Giovannetti , the forgotten talent
The world of a lost artist re-emerges in Ascona
It’s a late summer afternoon when a phone call arrives at the newsroom that has the taste of a signal. Go to Ascona, has just been found a collection of art disappeared for decades, a corpus intact of works by Luigi Pericle Giovannetti , a real treasure that emerges only now. A certain skepticism prevails initially: is it really a treasure? And why does the name of the author, Luigi Pericle Giovannetti , tell me absolutely nothing? The appointment in Ascona, on the slopes of Monte Verità, is with Andrea and Greta Biasca-Caroni, they are the owners of the paintings, and they begin to tell a story that is incredible and that I will try to tell here. Last year, the couple buy a two-storey villa, where no one has been around for fifteen years. He lived there a painter who died in 2001 without leaving heirs, and the house remained as he left it. After the first inspections, the couple realizes that they have something unique in their hands: in the abandoned rooms, among the dusty furnishings, on the shelves of bookcases, the world of a forgotten artist, paintings, letters and photographs of Luigi begins to take shape. PericleGiovannetti , a painter who for many reasons today, few know, but who deserves great attention for the intensity of his experience and his work.
Pursuit of an absolute beauty Few people were aware of LUIGI PERICLE’s paintings, since he never exhibited or sold his works after the ’60’s
