This picture whose title is ‘The Arts’ shows ah harmonic composition that alternates curved and polygonal shapes, taking care that the latter never become spiky. It welcomes us into the very first showing of autumn, as can be glimpsed from grapes and pears displayed in the foreground.
The earthy colours reveal the painter’s preference in the use of chromatic ranges that refer back to his experience of the countryside when he used to follow his relatives in the vineyard for the wine harvest.
The rosy tones of the guitar and its soft shape are refer, rather openly to painter’s bucolic existence during his stay in Le Marche, which he spent immersed in nature, with memories of orchard trees and of the smell of bread dough rising in the kitchen.

ITALIANO
Composizione armonica quella del quadro di piccole dimensioni intitolato "Le Arti". L'alternanza di forme curve e poligonali, ma senza mai diventare spigolose, ci introduce in un autunno appena annunciato, come è possibile scorgere dai chicchi d'uova e dalle pere in primo piano.
I colori della terra riprendono il gusto dell'autore nell'usare cromatismi che lo riportano alla sua esperienza campagnola quando soleva andare per le vigne ad aiutare la famiglia nella raccolta.
I toni rosati della chitarra e la sua forma morbida, sono un richiamo non troppo velato alla bucolica esistenza della sua realtà marchigiana, spesa nella natura tra gli alberi da frutta e il profumo del pane lievitato fatto in casa.
Dimensioni
La tela, inclusa di cornice, misura 30x35. E' possibile venderla su richiesta anche senza cornice.

Luigi Cavalieri was born into a family originating from the central Italy region of Le Marche. He was born in Parma, where his father, Achille Cavalieri, a State Railway employee, had been seconded for work.
His mother, Emilia, was the daughter of Giambattista Perugini and his wife Livia Valentini, who were landowner with ties to the area of Borgo Stazione near the town of Serra San Quirico, but they also owned properties in the nearby areas, including Rotorscio and Castelletta.
The family is well know to all that live in Borgo Stazione because of the many donations they made to the local church, the building of which was financially supported particularly by two of Luigi’s uncles, Giacomo ( known as Nio), and Giulio Perugini.
Luigi’s father came from a more modest background from a family based in the small town of Serra San Quirico itself.
Luigi Cavalieri spent his childhood in Tuscany, mainly in Siena then, in 1934, he moved with hi family to Rome where his father was promoted to head of all travelling staff in the State Railway.
Here Luigi attended high school at the Umberto I ‘liceo classico’ (today known as Pilo Albertelli), where he later was destined to return as a member of staff in the 1970’s and where he also held the vice-headmaster position for a few years.
His passion in school was mediaeval poetry, particular the works of Dante and Poliziano, and he went on to study classical literature at Rome University, La Sapienza, from where he graduated with honours in Italian Literature. He then became a teacher with a permanent position as teacher of Italian and Latin in high school.
During his university years Luigi also studied Paleography and Diplomacy at the Vatican Archive Pontifical School and was granted access for study purposes to documents to which ‘imprimatur’ [the official permission to publish by the Vatican authorities N.d.T] also stored in that archives.
His familiarity with the Vatican Archive was to pay dividends later on when he conducted his research on the history and customs of Serra San Quirico.
In the late 1980’ Luigi Cavalieri achieved the qualifications to become high school headmaster by passing the required state examinations and his last appointment in this position was at the Istituto Magistrale Maria Mazzini in Rome.
In recognition to is services to the state both as teacher and headmaster, the Italian State granted him the title of Cavaliere Ufficiale della Rpubblica Italaina at the end of his career.
During his retirement, lasting many years and ending with his death at the age of 98 on 7 March 2018, Luigi Cavalieri could dedicate himself even more to his artistic activities, a passion he has cultivated all his life. His painting reveal the full range of his intellectual and cultural internal life. They are mainly executed in the medium of tempera on canvas
His sketches using pen and works in ink are also of note.
One should also not neglect to mention the long standing research and passion Luigi Cavalieri held for Dante Alighieri’s poetry. Throughout his life he produced several sketches and works on subjects extracted from the Divina Commedia.
