Giovanni Mazza was born in Rome on July 16, 1934. He spent his youth in the characteristic district of Trastevere until the sixties. Fascinated by the figure, he began portraying his peers and playmates at a very young age. Noticed by the elderly and established painter G. Ferrazza, he found in him the first guide to the study of the human figure and was introduced by him to the artistic environment of the district that has its beating heart in the art studios in Via Orti d'Aliberti. These are meeting places not only for local painters and sculptors, but also for architects, men of letters, musicians with whom Giovanni Mazza extends his cultural experiences.<\/p>

These are the years in which the artistic, intellectual and social commitment is fertile, which is also reflected in the lively discussions of the group of Via Orti d'Aliberti with the birth of the brilliant initiative - proposed by the sculptor M. Capezzuoli and the painter G. Ragogna \"Art in the Quarter\" and realized at the headquarters of the section of the Italian Socialist Party in the Triumphal Quarter. A very successful event to which many well-known names such as R. Guttuso, Omiccioli, Gianpistone and others adhere; on this occasion, for the first time Giovanni Mazza is mentioned by an art critic in the Giornale d'Italia as an \"unpublished draughtsman to remember\", experiences and friendships that are the basis for the artistic training of Giovanni Mazza.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A further impulse and consolidation towards artistic maturity, Mazza receives it during the period in which he attends Maestro Beppe Assenza's studio: a teaching that is always alive in him and for which he feels he must express his perennial gratitude. Later, Giovanni Mazza took part in numerous exhibitions, including the picturesque outdoor exhibitions in Via Margutta in Rome and, later, in 1958, at the First Exhibition of Figurative Arts in Rome and Lazio (now the Rome Biennale) he was awarded the Silver Medal. In the years that followed Giovanni Mazza's laborious artistic activity continued uninterruptedly along a path of personal research aimed at meditated reflection on social issues involving contemporary man.<\/p>

These are the topics that become the object of discussion in the fruitful meetings with authoritative intellectuals such as the university professor A. De Lorenzi and the art critic F. De Lorenzi. Amato; Professor F. Salvotti (university professor of aesthetics, painter, journalist and art critic); Professor W. Alberti (professor, journalist, essayist and film critic); Professor G. Giraldi (university professor, essayist, philosopher); Chino Bert (stylist and artist). And these are still the themes that Mazza proposes today with his painting and that meet the favour of critics and public when they are proposed in competitions, cultural events, collective and personal exhibitions at prestigious galleries both in Italy and abroad.<\/p>

A special thought goes to the philosopher and friend Prof. Giovanni Giraldi with whom, in his characteristic residence in Voze (SV), Giovanni Mazza has spent a long time discussing philosophical, political and aesthetic issues that affect contemporary society. The mutual esteem is such that in the periodical Sistematica, founded by Giraldi himself, his thoughts on Mazza's painting are expressed several times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
