Luigi bartolini (cupramontana, ancona, 1892 -rome, 1963) was a famous italian engraver, painter, and writer. Through his etchings, which often accompany his wrimentings, the artist led a research on light and on the signs of expressionist intonation. Among the literary works: bicycle thieves (1946); the mezzano alipio (1951); scabrosi tales (1963). Only after world war i, he dedicated himself entirely to engraving, achieving his first following 1932 at the italian engraving exhibition in florence. Etching, with him, became again an effective means of poetic expression. When he was young, he at least in literature and medicine in rome, siena, and florence. He participated for the first time in the venice biennial in 1928. At the first and second quadriennale of rome (1935 and 1939), he received the award for the best etching. He won another prize at the exhibition of italian engraving at the uffizi gallery in florence in 1932.
