Ernesto Treccani was an Italian painter, engraver, and writer, a prominent figure in the Italian artistic and cultural landscape of the 20th century. Born in Milan in 1920, son of the famous publisher Giovanni Treccani, he dedicated his life to art and politics, becoming one of the protagonists of the artistic and anti-fascist movement "Corrente." Growing up in a cultivated and stimulating environment, Ernesto Treccani approached art at a young age. His artistic training was influenced by historical avant-gardes and the artistic movements of his time. In 1938, at just 18 years old, Treccani was among the founders of the "Corrente" group, an artistic movement that aimed to unite art with the political struggle against fascism. Through his works, Treccani denounced social injustices and the atrocities of war. Treccani's work is characterized by a wide variety of themes and expressive languages. From the early works of social protest, created during the Corrente period, he moved on to landscapes and portraits in subsequent years, up to graphic experiments and sculptures in the last years of his life.
