Francesco Caracciolo, an art historian and critic, and recently a member of the 17th Art Commission of the Parliamentary Intergroup for the Development of the South Minor Areas and Fragile Islands at the Chamber of Deputies in Rome, covered the Jesolo Prize 2025 event.
A polymathic and avant-garde artist, Paolo Mariani (May 15, 1952), born in Verona, graduated from high school with top honors; he even trained as a restorer, having himself patented equipment and technologies that will be used on monuments and valuable buildings.
Recently, the artist-restaurateur participated with a solo exhibition in Artemente Gallery’s coveted Jesolo Prize, which opened on June 1, 2025: in this extraordinary context, Paul exhibited 11 works that trace the author’s memories and recollections through views of places that are part of his lived experience- titles are emblematic such a “The Bakery with Pastries, Reggio Emilia” and “Venegazzù Treviso” – in which the author, with a strong background in graphic design, advertising and marketing, has developed a special technique of executing his panels with acrylic and paper on canvas, which are the prototype of the multiples printed on satin polyfiber fabric.
