NELLO BOCCI

 Biography

Professor Nello Bocci was born in Gubbio in 1945, he studied at the statal Art Institute of Gubbio and then at the Accademy of Arts in Perugia and Venezia. He teaches artistic education.
After having had significant experience from the figurative to the abstract in northern Italy (Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia), returning to Gubbio he presented his researches with an anthological exhibition considering the period from 1972 - 1984, during which the reflections on "making culture" and being of the sculpture become interwoven with man's role in the contemporary society.
We find traces and confirmation of this vision in the different phases of plastic elaboration of his works, even in the most recent ones which characterize themselves for their refined artistic solutions: from ceramics to bronzes, from wood to bronzes, to cements, until medal works.
There were numerous personal and collective exhibitions in Italy and overseas.
We remember some of them: in 1984; in Follonica, 1985; in Civitavecchia, 1986; in Fabriano, 1988; in Gries (BZ), 1990; in Salon de Provence, 1994; in Firenze, 1996; in S. Giacomo Laives (BZ), 1997.
Important critics studied his works: Vitaliano Angelini, Mariano Apa, Mario Apice, Giorgio Bonomi, Bruno Corà, Giorgio Cortenova, Franco Farina, Giuseppe Maradei, Luciano Marziano, Vincenzo Perna, Carlo Ponti, Duccio Travaglia, Marisa Vescovo.
Apart from articles and reviews in newspapers like "il Messaggero","La Nazione", "Il Corriere dell'Umbria", "L'Adriatico", "Il Tirreno", "Il Messaggero Veneto", Bocci's works have been presented by Italian Television in the program of "Primissima" and some other news services of (RAI3).
