Umberto Bianchini (Italian, 1934-2010) was born in Florence, Italy. After high school he began his activity as an advertising graphic designer and approached the world of art by studying painting, with particular interest in post-impressionism and Tuscan portraitists, especially for the work of Boldini. He studied under Enzo Pregno and Guido Borgianni, with whom he became friends.
His works can be found in private collections and in important public collections. Two of his works have been purchased by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and by the Ministry for Tourism and Entertainment. One of his paintings is exhibited at the National Museum of Krakow (Poland).
He died in Florence on January 12, 2010.
