GINO ROMITI
He was a student of Guglielmo Micheli from whom he learned accurate drawing skills.
At just seventeen, he was invited to the Venice Biennale, where he exhibited six times. His study activity continued until 1902; in that period his art was also strongly influenced by his fellow citizen Giovanni Fattori, with whom he had known frequentations and with whom he exchanged interesting correspondence[1]. In the first period of his activity he formed a strong friendship and a professional relationship with Amedeo Modigliani. In 2010 an exhibition entitled 'Modigliani and his friends from Livorno to Paris' celebrates precisely the professional relationships between the artists with whom Modigliani met professionally and humanly[2]. In 1920 together with other artists from Livorno he founded the Gruppo Labronico whose institution takes place in his studio after the death of Mario Puccini[3]. Of the Gruppo Labronico he will also be president from 1943 to 1967[4].
His artistic career began with his adherence to the school of the postmacchiaioli of which he was an interesting exponent[5] later he adopted in his works the principles of the movement of the divisionists with well-successful tests 'Going to the factory[6]', 'Return to the sheepfold[7]' and 'Symphony of the sea'[8] that looks at the painting by Seurat.[9]. But also 'Towards the light' (1913), 'Venus' (1913), 'seabed' (1915). Inspired by Grubicy and Nomellini and for 'Towards the light' by the Belgian Emile Claus. Nor should be neglected in some of his paintings the most dramatic phase of Romitian symbolism, that is to say of the marine of boecklinian flavor with 'Sinfonia del mare[10]'(1927) and always in these years two close to the painting of the master Grubicy 'Sunset' and 'Full Moon'.[11]
In reality, in his life Gino Romiti will move between the currents of the time, finally creating towards the thirties a personal style made of relaxed atmospheres and chromatic combinations never excessive with a precise pictorial texture not forgetting the postmacchiaiola setting and the vibrations of divisionist color. His thematic repertoire consists mainly of subjects inspired by the pine forests and tamarisk trees of Ardenza, to gardens, country roads and Livorno marinas, in which the various reflections of light on the surface of the water are masterful, and represent the largest part of his production.
The interest in the sea leads him to create, already as a young man, dedicated works, some with Futuristic anticipations ( pre-futurism)with the masterpiece 'The Gardens of the Sea' (1914) and 'Seabed'.
In 1953 he was among the promoters of the Premio Rotonda in Livorno and in 1959 he received the gold medal given to him by his city[12]. He has also written and published two books Amore nella gioia del sacrificio and Gocce nella luce dell'ombra of which many documents are preserved in the Gino Romiti fund and in the libraries[13].
He was also a soldier and during the First World War he fought in Albania, During the levy he made small paintings and drawings inspired by military life which would later be the subjects of many exhibitions.
Gino Romiti nineteen years old in his studio with Amedeo Modigliani in 1900
He deceases in Livorno in 1967. The municipality of Livorno has named a street after him.
