Marco Calderini (Turin, 1850 - 1941) The Italian painter, lithographer and writer Marco Calderini was student at the Albertina Academy of Enrico Gamba, del Gastaldi and Antonio Fontanesi, whose style was inspired in the first works, moving away later towards a much more accentuated realistic research. He began his career in 1870 with "The banks of the Po in Turin", which is one of the most remarkable works placed in the Turin Civic Museum. In the same year he created the painting The Solitary Statues, in the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, which was followed by many other paintings of dazzling views of Piedmont. In 1899 he participated in the III International Art Exhibition in Venice. Among his writings: The posthumous memories of Francesco Mosso (1885) and Antonio Fontanesi: landscape painter (1901).
