Childwood Memory  is an original xylograph realized in the half of the XX Century by Luigi Spacal, a Contemporary Italian artist. The work shows us several white objects realized in the center of the composition and are realized in relief. The composition is interesting because some of the lines that create the work are on relief. This work has been realized by the Italian contemporary artist Luigi Spacal  (Trieste, 1907 - Trieste, 2000). 

Lojze Spacal , also known as Luigi Spacal , was born on the Trieste Karst, at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from a family of Slovenian nationality.In 1930 he was arrested on charges of anti-fascism and confined for some time to Accettura, in Basilicata. Here he discovered his artistic vocation. In 1934 he graduated in Venice. He began to exhibit his first works in 1937. In 1942 he was again sent to confinement, this time in Abruzzo and, later, assigned to a special working battalion in Forte dei Marmi. Nevertheless, he managed to continue to exhibit his works so much that, in 1944, he set up his first solo show. In 1948 he participated for the first time in the Venice biennial. In 1958 he won the International Grand Prix "for a draftsman and engraver" at the Venice Biennale. In 1959 he received the 2nd prize at the International Biennial of Graphic Art in Ljubljana. In 1974 he was awarded the Prešeren prize, the highest Slovenian artistic recognition, and the “San Giusto d'Oro” in 1977. In 1998 a museum was dedicated to him in the castle of San Daniele del Carso.
