On the front a black and white reproduction of Omiccioli ''Mare mosso''. On the back, greeting autograph notes: the Italian painter remembers to his patron of arts, Silvio Perina, the invitation to his exhibition. Perhaps this is one of his latest exhibitions. Giovanni Omiccioli (Rome, 1901-1975) is one of the representatives artist of the Roman School, the most popular and loved, especially by the Romans because of the subjects of his artworks : ''football matches''. Omiccioli became a symbolic painter of Via Margutta. He is a close friend of Mafai and Antonietta Raphael, often working with Scipione and Raffaele Frumenti, and he gets his first personal exhibition at the Galleria Apollo in Rome in '38. He often goes to the Osteria Fratelli Menghi, known as a meeting point for painters, directors, screenwriters, Writers and poets between the '40s and' 70s. He is also very active politically, with Mario Mafai, Guttuso and Afro. He realized the first head of L'Unità in 1945, shortly after the Liberation. In the same year he participated in the ''I Mostra dell'Arte contro le barbarie'', promoted by the communist daily newspaper at the Galleria di Roma and presented in the catalog by Antonello Trombadori, with a work of strong political commitment (Bruno Buozzi Shooting). In 1950 he rented a studio at Via Margutta 51, held an exhibition in Rome at the art studio of Palma and encouraged Corrado Alvaro, just before moving for two years to the mountains of Sila, in Calabria.
