SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The Italian artist Alberto Salietti, born in Ravenna in 1892 and died in Genoa in 1961, devoted himself to landscape painting after the First World War. Having moved to Milan with his parents in 1904, he first learned from his father, whom he helped to create murals on buildings, and later entered the Brera Academy.
At the beginning of the war, he was called up for military service; after the conflict, landscape painting became the focus of his artistic activity. From 1920 onwards, he took part in the Venice Biennale as well as numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
Among the works associated with his name is *Bend in the Road*, an oil on canvas dated 1928, measuring 74.5 × 89.3 cm and listed by the Hermitage Museum.
