About the Artist
Antonio De Vity (1901–1993), born Umberto Marone, was an Italian painter born in Naples. His life can be described in a few words: a deep passion for painting and art, and a great love for Paris, the city from which his grandmother’s family originated.

He studied at the Liceo d'Arte in Naples and later spent several years in Paris, living in a small attic room near Place Saint-Michel. During this period, he had the opportunity to attend the École des Beaux-Arts and to immerse himself in the locations that frequently appeared in his paintings, including Notre Dame, the Café de la Paix, and the Moulin Rouge.

It was during his time in Paris that he first began using the pseudonym Antonio de Vity. This choice, along with his tribute to his beloved Paris, helped create an aura of mystery around the artist.

After returning to Naples, Umberto founded a school that quickly became a prestigious art studio and an important meeting place for artists from Southern Italy. By the late 1950s, the studio had become one of the most important art schools for Neapolitan painters, with more than 30 students.

From the late 1960s onward, the studio was directed by Umberto’s son, Achille, who also continued to paint under the name Antonio de Vity. The artist’s first exhibitions date back to the early 1950s, including Brussels, Belgium (1953), Marrakech, Morocco (1955), and Madrid, Spain (1956), with many additional exhibitions held in France.

Antonio De Vity spent his later years in Naples, where his studio sold and exported works for many years. His paintings are known to have received international recognition, and his works remain widely collected.
