Aldo Palazzeschi (Florence, 1885 - 1974)

The Italian novelist, poet, journalist and essayist, is still today considered as an influencer on later Italian writers of the neoavanguardia. His work is well-noted by its "grotesque and fantastic elements". Palazzeschi begins his literary career after meeting Filippo Tommaso Marinetti: he became a fervent Futurist, best known for his poem “let me have fun!”. However, he was never entirely ideologically aligned with the movement. His "futurist period" was a very fecund time in which he published a series of works that cemented his reputation. During the interwar years, his poetical production decreased, as he became involved in journalism and other pursuits. He took no part in the official culture of the Fascist regime, but he collaborated with magazines like Pegaso, Pan, (edited by Ugo Ojetti) and Il Selvaggio, (edited by Mino Maccari). In the late sixties and early seventies he started publishing again, with a series of novels that resecured his place in the new, post-war avant-garde.

Gaetano Chiurazzi (Naples, 1899-1967)

Best-known known as Tanino, in 1925 he was sent to Rome by his father to manage the family foundry, as well as to take care of the exhibition hall in via del Babuino. His interest shifted from bronzes to painting. The result was a change in the character of the art gallery, which began to exhibit towards the end of the 1930s, alongside the classical bronzes, paintings by painters of the Roman school, until after the Second World War it became a painting gallery and thus becoming one of the best known in Rome as the "Chiurazzi Showcase". Chiurazzi here welcomed numerous exhibitions by contemporary artists, such as Maccari, De Pisis, Mafai, Raphael, D. Cooper, Levi, Cagli, Morandi, Carrà, Soffici, De Chirico, Sironi, Rosai. A great connoisseur of art, especially lover of figurative art, around the 1950s he also opened his gallery to abstract works of art by G. Dorazio, A. Perilli, G. Turcato, C. Accardi, T. Scialoia. It also welcomed works by foreign painters including S. Dalì, J. Ensor, M. Ernst, C. Pernieke, E. L. Kircimer. His activity, his knowledge in the artistic field, his personality together with his character led C. to befriend contemporary painters, especially with De Pisis, but also with exponents of the literary world including in particular G. Comisso, G. Ungaretti, A. Palazzeschi, L. De Libero.
