Piero Dorazio  (Rome, June 29, 1927 - Perugia, May 17, 2005) was an Italian painter, who with his painting has contributed since 1945 to the affirmation of abstract art in Italy.  Dorazio was born in Rome where, after completing his classical studies, he studied architecture for four years.   Very young, in 1944, he met the abstract movement of the capital and began a series of collaborations with his protagonists.  Since 1945 he has been a leading exponent of the activity of the Arte Sociale group.  Together with his friends Lucio Manisco, Mino Guerrini and Achille Perilli he attended Renato Guttuso's studio in the first post-war period, but he soon moved away from the theses of socialist realism and joined the abstract movement.  He periodically makes artistic stays in many European cities including Paris, London, Prague, Düsseldorf and Berlin which will help spread his popularity and his fame even far from Italy.
