David Beghè (Calice al Cornoviglio, 3 May 1854 - Calyx to Cornoviglio, 17 January 1933) was an Italian painter
David Beghè was born in Nasso [1], a hamlet of Calice al Coroviglio, son of the landowner Giuseppe Behhhè and Maria Zanelli [2], being baptized in the parish church of Santa Maria. The young man took his first steps in the painting growing in one of the notable families of Calice, inspired by the Christian faith (his uncle Don Gioacchino was a priest).
He began his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, then moving to Milan where he continued them to the Brera Academy. In the Milanese Academy he had the opportunity to confront and relate to the direction of two of the most famous painters of the time, Francesco Hayez and Giuseppe Bertini. In addition, he received precious teachings on the art of fresco from the painter Giovanni Valtorta. He graduated in 1875 in art history.
Landscape, portraitist and great frescoer, he also loved to rest, playing the organ in work breaks within the many churches where he was called to work.
During the fresco works in the church of San Giovanni Battista in Chiavari in 1888 he met Valentina Torsegno, with whom he married, established himself in Milan and had four children: Raffaele, Maria, Ermenegildo, Caterina and Pio Leone. [3]
Although he spent a lot of his time away from his hometown he never lost the link with it and it was precisely in Nasso who held a real cultural debate with Agostino Fossati, another great Specine painter who had chosen the Calicese as his area of summer residence.
Beghé died on January 15, 1933; His remains rest in the family chapel of the Cemetery of the Santa Maria del Municipality of Callice al Colloviglio.
