SEMEGHINI PIO
Pio Antonio Semeghini (Bondanello di Quistello, provincia di Mantova, 31/01/1878 - Verona 11/03/1964) born by Giuseppe and Emilia Zanini. He has four brothers (Elvira, born in 1870 and died in 1886, Antonio, born in 1875 and died in 1931, and Enrico Guido, born in 1880 and died in 1962). The father did not accept the choices of Pio, who leaves school early, not happy to discipline and with a desire to find his way as an artist. In 1916 we find in Venice, as evidenced by a ticket 20.2.1916.
In 1919 something happened again, before being called to arms Semeghini knew the primitive group of painters of Burano and Nino Barbantini It is precisely Barbantini to invite him to his first exhibition in the renewed Ca Pesaro the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, which reopens its doors with "XI Exhibition of Art in Palazzo Pesaro in Venice - Year 1919" (July 13 to October 5, 1919). The press agrees recognizing Semeghini an important artist on the national scene, with some misunderstanding as to Carrą who gave greetings to the young painter, recognizing him in the fabric of the artist. Gino Damerini ( "Gazzetta di Venezia", 18.7.1919) identifies impressionism roots, which are added "... ). With him expose Gino Rossi (8 paintings and some drawings), Felice Casorati, Guido Cadorin and Umberto Moggioli (died in Rome a few months), and some new names: the Veronese Guido Trentini, Angelo Zamboni, Antonio Nardi.
