Giuseppe Malandrino  (Modica, 1910 - Rome, 1979) was a portrait painter, landscape painter, all-round artist, who became interested, during his Roman stay in his youth, also in photography and cinema. After leaving his native village, he moved to Rome where he attended Giacomo Balla's studio and began a series of exhibitions that made him well-known throughout the world.
