Franco Giuli
Born in Cerreto d’Esi, 1034
Franco Giuli was born in Cerreto d’Esi (Ancona) in 1934 and died in Fabriano in 2018. After exploring Informel at the end of the 1950s, he turned his interest to new forms of expression, transitioning from a focus on the machine and the dynamics of space to perspectival surfaces in relation to light, space, colour, and form.
In 1967, he exhibited his works at the Galleria Fanesi in Ancona, with an introduction by Giancarlo Politi. The following year, he held another solo exhibition at the Galleria Scipione in Macerata, accompanied by an introductory text by Italo Tomassoni. He met Rafael Alberti and Giulio Carlo Argan, who regarded his work as serious and committed, seeing it as a revisitation of Constructivism. Argan would later write about him in the introduction to the monograph published by Nuova Foglio Editrice in 1977.
