Bruno Vivoli, Engravings/ Incisioni

Born in 1941 in Florence, Bruno Vivoli studied engraving under Romano Calamai and Marcello Sacchi.

He has participated in exhibitions at Santa Croce, San Frediano and, most recently, in the exhibition held November, 2001, by the artists of the Repubblica di San Procolo, in honour of Fioretta Mazzei, in the English Cemetery’s Gatehouse, Piazzale Donatello 38, 50132 Florence.

Bruno Vivoli’s engraving of Dante teaching the Commedia to Florence is used as the logo to the international congresses held in Florence, 2001, 2002, 2004, The City and the Book.

An artist from Norway has printed Bruno Vivoli’s engravings of the Madonna and Child at the Santa Reparata International School of Art, Via San Gallo, Florence.

Bruno Vivoli, Madonna and Child

Number 20 of a numbered series of 50, which Bruno Vivoli has signed. They sold for €50/$50 each.

Then Bruno engraved the Madonna of the Badia Giotto altarpiece now in the Uffizi, of which this is Number 10 of a numbered series of 50. Again, these sold for €50/$50, the proceeds of these prints initially going towards buying a printing press for the printing of engravings in the bottega of the Mediatheca 'Fioretta Mazzei'. Now proceeds go entirely to him.

Bruno Vivoli and Hedera Cjuraru used to attend the Messa dei Poveri, the Mass for the Poor, of the 'Repubblica di San Procolo', in the Badia each Sunday in Florence, a Mass begun by Giorgio La Pira and continued by Fioretta Mazzei. He had been taught ho to engrave but not how to print his work. We arranged for the latter and these were the result.
