Oil painting on paper applied to panel depicting a nocturne.
The view depicts part of the village of Riomaggiore and in particular the Via San Giacomo on which a rough sea is breaking. The work, attributable to the La Spezia artist's more mature production, is pervaded by the almost dreamlike atmosphere that the painter knew how to imprint on his works depicting nocturnes. Signed in the bottom right-hand corner and on the back there is an inscription by the master and the date '69. Giuseppe Guglielmo Umberto Caselli, known as Pino (Luzzara, 5 July 1893 - La Spezia, 19 December 1976), was an Italian painter. Born in 1893 in Villarotta di Luzzara (Reggio Emilia), he trained at the Free School of Nude at the Academy of Florence. Returning to La Spezia, where he lived since childhood, he was a pupil of Del Santo and Discovolo. He came into contact with the artistic environment that gravitated around the new magazine L'Eroica of La Spezia writer Ettore Cozzani and devoted himself to woodcut engraving. In 1913 he met Lorenzo Viani. During the First World War he was taken prisoner and interned in the Mauthausen prison camp in Austria; from this experience he drew numerous works that were premonitory of the drama of the following conflict. His painting was first influenced by the early Divisionist experiences of the beginning of the 20th century and reached a personal expressionism, close to the innovative Austrian movements, but also to Viani's poetics. Many of his works are inspired by memories of his imprisonment. With his aeropainting works, in 1933 he exhibited at the Gulf Prize organised by F.T.Marinetti and returned to participate in many subsequent editions. Very attached to La Spezia, he painted the many aspects of the city and its province, Lunigiana and the nearby Cinque Terre in particular. The Allende Centre in La Spezia dedicated a posthumous anthological exhibition to him in 1981. A regular certificate of authenticity with photo is issued.
