Giacomo Aimo is the last descendant of this family of artists, renowned from the first half of the nineteenth century.
Giacomo never married and has no children, his extraordinary family is ending with him. The book is composed of studies, researches, painfully acquired through years of mistakes and successes, transmitted from father to son, together with their passion for art.
With this book, the author offers a tribute to his own family, as a demonstration of respect and profound acknowledgement. He himself has also found a way to transmit to future generations of painters-decorators and restorers, this precious artistic and cultural inheritance.
The images are organized into four sections, each corresponding to an artist of the family.
The first section regards the great-great-grandfather Giacomo Genta (1822-1903), the second collects the drawings of the grandfather Giacomo Aimo (1873-1940), The third regards his father Osvaldo Aimo (1906-1984) and his brother Mario (1903-1989). The fourth sections contains drawings of the author: Giacomo Aimo.
