His Biography
Piero Sani was born in Spicchio di Vinci on 10.04.1947; attracted to Renaissance artists since elementary school, he visited exhibitions and museums, observing and trying to understand the mechanisms of painting.
In 1971 he attended the drawing school organized by the Municipality of Certaldo, under the guidance of Professor Tosi.
He has a particular attraction for metaphysics and surrealism.
Meanwhile, he exhibited his first works in 1973 in a solo show at the Certaldo Municipal Library,
obtaining unexpected approval from the public and critics.
His first exhibition was visited by the painters Beghé and Pini, who encouraged him to continue his artistic journey.
All this was the mechanism that led Sani to embark on a long artistic career marked
by numerous successes in Italy and abroad.
His works are included in numerous public and private collections.
His artistic periods are divided into:
“The Roosters” from 1972 to 1975
“Surreal Drawings” from 1975 to 1980
“The Silhouettes” from 1976 to 1980
“The Sphinxes” from 1981 to 1992
“The Rags” from 1993 and which are still part of his artistic production today.
Piero Sani lives and works in Poggibonsi at Via del Casalino, 50 in the province of Siena.
