VIGINI

Grottesca, a style of ornamentation, is defined by symmetric, arabesque like figures of flora and fauna motifs which appear to float within architectural details.  Its origins begin at Pompeii and were rediscovered during the Renaissance.  Raphael's Loggia in the Vatican is a perfect example of Renaissance grottesca.  During the 18th century, the grottesca style was again revived with the discovery of the Domus Aurea in Rome.  This art-historical slide presentation based on many years of travel and research will give you a greater understanding and will whet the appetite of any lover of Italian decoration!

Nicola Vigini, a native Roman, who has attended the prestigious Liceo Artistico in Rome and the Institute Superieure de Peintre Decorative in Paris, combines a lifetime of artistic training in both Europe and America.  Nicola's decorative painting commissions have transformed religious institutions, private aircraft, exclusive residences and large commercial spaces into exquisite environments.
