 Fausto Melotti was born in Rovereto (Trento) in 1901. In 1918 he enrolled in the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Pisa.  During this period he studied the piano and took up studies of sculpture in Turin under the sculptor Pietro Canonica.  In 1928 he enrolled at the Accademia di Brera in Milan.  His first exhibition brought him no critical or public success in Italy but received attention in France thanks to Léonce Rosenberg.  Between 1941 and 1943 he lived in Rome where he participated in the Figini and Pollini project for the Palazzo delle Forze Armate and, in the meantime, produced drawings, paintings and poems that were together published in 1944.  In 1979 a solo anthological exhibition was held at the Palazzo Reale in Milan and two years later, in Florence, an exhibition was staged at the Forte Belvedere.
