Hand-signed by the artist on the lower. Very Good conditions. Enotrio Pugliese (May 11, 1920 - August 1989) was an Italian painter. Born in Buenos Aires to a Calabrian family who emigrated to Argentina at the beginning of the century. His first contacts with the world of culture and art take place in a climate characterized by the relationships that the family (even after returning to Italy in 1926) has with the musical environment. For a long time his father was a well-known cellist, first at the "Colón" in Buenos Aires, then he was a member of celebrated "chamber quartets". In Calabria as a boy Enotrio (this will be his stage name) begins to realize the multiple social, economic and moral reasons that practically "force" many Italians to try the ways of emigration. These reasons that gradually substantiated his life choices, even after 1939, when he obtained his classical maturity, he moved to Rome and enrolled in the Faculty of Chemistry, in the belief that he could then emigrate with better job prospects. His true spiritual interests began to manifest themselves in the field of the figurative arts, of which he understood the various ferments through the reading of magazines and weeklies. After the Second World War he attended the studio of the painter Domenico Purificato and later took part in the most important national exhibitions and awards. He was a sensitive interpreter of the natural beauty but also of the misery and hopes of Calabria, to which he was very attached. He died in Pizzo Calabro in August 1989. He is buried in the cemetery of San Costantino Calabro, the birthplace of his family, to whom he donated the structure of the Casa del Popolo.
