Biography

immagine per Bruno Lisi Bruno Lisi, artist of the sign, was the core of that free exchange of energies, unconditioned by market strategies, which has characterised to this day the historical space of AOC F58, which he co-founded and managed for many years. The association of artists at via Flaminia 58 has been for over thirty years a place of artistic experiences and research, not only for the many artists and curators who have worked there, but for all those who have found in Bruno Lisi’s studio an open and warm place of cultural exchange. Bruno Lisi was born in Rome in 1942. He studied painting with Alberto Ziveri at Istituto Statale d’Arte in Rome, mosaic techniques with Michelangelo Conte and plastic art with Ettore Colla. He taught at Istituto d’Arte in L’Aquila from 1965 to 1973; at Liceo Artistico in Rome from 1973 to 1982. Several authors have written about his work, including Carmine Benincasa, Camilla Boemio, Cecilia Casorati, Patrizia Ferri, Francesca Gallo, Francesco Moschini, Carla Subrizi, Claudia Terenzi, Lorenza Trucchi, Cesare Vivaldi, Marisa Volpi. He died in Rome in 2012.
