THE ROOMS OF MEMORY

by the Dr. Silvia Bottaro

Carlo BOSSI
would like to begin this new column with a "tribute" to the painter

Carlo Bossi (Savona, 1916 - XXXIV, 1997) mindful of her privacy and his "love" to Savona. Present since 1939 in the Ligurian art scene and beyond, we recall some important national festivals in which he participated, including the Quadrennial in Rome in 1948 and 1952, the Prize of the Gulf Spezia in 1951, the Premio Bagutta Spotorno, 1960, the Prize Suzzara. Revolved around the Gallery of St. Andrew Savona, directed by poet and critic Louis Pennone (Lupe) and belongs, in a sense, to that group of really fine artists of that period as Eso Peluzzi, Mario Bonilauri, Lino Berzoini, Ivos Pacetti Mario Raimondi, Emanuele Martinengo. The landscape of Savona (the alleys, the longstanding traditions such as the Good Friday and the Risen Christ), painted from life, with light quick, poetic color have characterized it as a way to clear the creator of "real-life photos and psychological ( its very interesting portraits related to family ties). True stories of its visual, lucid, clear the "prose" and with unexpected cuts in perspective. Today many of those jobs are "stories" of Savona for a time, they become documents of memory, "icons" of his pulse and hear the daily life living under the sign of the delicacy, the deep feeling of his painting.
