Published in two volumes, this catalogue features all paintings, frescoes and drawings, that Campigli created during his whole life: more than 2700 works, presented in a chronological order, all certified as authentic works by the iconographic documents in the Archives of the Campigli Foundation.
Through this publication the reader can go through Campigli's whole artistic production; this artist - with his continuous search for symmetry, harmony and balance - has his own place in the XXth century artistic panorama.
His works, inspired by Etruscan art, by archaeology and by the female figure reveal a sense of purity and of inner peace, sometimes veiled by a moderate irony: all features emphasized by the painter's highly refined technique.
