When he was in his twenties, El Giovanin had a breakdown. Ospedalized first in the psychiatric hospital of San Servolo, then in San Clemente, his sister witnessed the desperate conditions he was living in and decided to bring him back home. That's the time when he started painting (the first drawing being dated 1963).
El Giovanin's typical subjects are landscapes from the Dolomites, portraits and in particular self-portraits. For his paintings he uses acrylic, charcoal, watercolor, most of the times on paper, sometimes on cardboard or wood. He died in Venice on July 22nd 2002, aged 70. You can visit him in the San Michele Cemetery, where he is buried.
