Maneglia Edmondo - Mount of the Capuchins

Monte dei Cappuccini is a famous hill located in the city of Turin, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Alps. The hill takes its name from the Capuchin Monastery that stands atop it. When the land was purchased in 1581 by Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy, he entrusted the hill to the Capuchin Friars, who also built the church of Santa Maria al Monte. From this point on, the hill was renamed Monte dei Cappuccini. The painter Edmondo Maneglia, through his own pictorial vision, reproduces a landscape of his city dear to him, expressing a pictorial vision close to expressionist elements, with a view that fully reflects the artistic and conceptual approach of contemporary painters, seeking to channel their inner emotions through painting.

Edmondo Maneglia's pictorial style almost unravels the shapes of objects, imbuing them with vibrations that are simultaneously atmospheric and existential. The dense, rich colors overlap to illuminate volumes and spaces. Thanks to his mastery of capturing different volumes within the canvas, a vibration of light is expressed that fleshes out the view and gives balance to the composition, integrating an emotional perspective.

Edmondo Maneglia was a Turin-based painter born in Koziu, Turkey, in 1925 and died in 2003. His favorite subjects were urban views and scenes of city life, as well as still lifes. His style is based on a Post-Impressionist style influenced by Cezanne, although at times it reached heights of Expressionism.
