GIOVANNI TURAZZA
1939 - Born in Rome. High school, classical studies, degree in Agriculture. He paints since he was a boy, experimenting many techniques.
1970 - He opens an art gallery in Malcesine on lake Garda, Italy, and he begins staging exhibitions, mainly featuring graphics (Braque, Burri, Campigli, Capogrossi, Carrà, Castellani, Chagall, Dalì, De Chirico, Dorazio, Ernst, Fontana, Hundertwasser, Jorn, Lam, Manzù, Magnelli, Marini, Matta, Masson, Mirò, Moore, M. Ray, Nicholson, Nigro, Picasso, Vasarely and others), which he also collects himself. The contacts he has are important for his formation. He takes interest on rocky incisions, on primitive and negro art, on red indian civilization. At the same time he addresses his attention to design (Sottsass, Branzi, Joe Colombo, Mendini, De Lucchi, Castiglioni, Starck, Arad and others). He draws objects (chairs, tables, carpets, mirrors, earings, vases, coffee cups, etc.) and realizes some prototypes.
November 1980 - He perceives two signs which, united, make three squares, and, on the base of these signs, he begins a research on the theme of love and life. He calls his compositions “love situations”, which he divides into “flowers” and “not flowers”.
1982 - Renato Cardazzo, director of the famous art galleries “Del Naviglio” in Milan and “Navigliovenezia” in Venice, watching a drawing “flowers” of him, writes to Turazza the compliments “for the good taste and the cleanliness”.
1984 - One of his drawings enters in the Contemporary Visual Arts Documentation Center of Genoa. With his wife Francesca he opens the shop Artemalcesine proposing art and top design pieces of furniture. He is a fan of Memphis Design Milan.
Summer 1994 - Mariaclara Goldschmiedt (Milan) dedicates him a service on the international furnishings review GAPcasa, under the title “Mercanti Philosopher”, publishing his chair “March 1991” and an adjustable shelf of him. He works about cube, realizing objects for fitting (wood small tables, iron cubic structures, etc.).
2007 - The daughter Paola succedes in the activity in the new space in the harbour square. He lives in Malcesine, birthplace of his ancestor Domenico Turazza, scientist and life senator of the former kingdom of Italy.
