Cleto Luzzi
Cleto Luzzi came from a wealthy Roman
aristocratic family. His relatives included lawyers, cardinals and
politicans which enabled Luzzi to pursue his talent securely.
Flourishing around the turn of the century, he often painted genre
scenes depicting lavish aristocratic gatherings in the style of fellow
Italian Vittorio Reggianini. His artistic pursuits took him to Thailand
for a period of his life. In 1949, late in his painting career, Luzzi
was comissioned to paint the interior scenes within the newly rebuilt
'Parrocchia Santa Maria del Porto'. Located in the Marina de San Vito,
Abruzzi on the east coast of Italy, the parish was destroyed during
World War II, and Luzzi's major painting work became one of the primary
attractions of the new parish. .
