Cesena, 1928
Alberto Sughi is a self-tought artist. His painting career begins soon after the Second World War, when, in his hometown, Cesena, he meets Giovanni Cappelli and Luciano Caldari with whom he forms an artistic union which was to be known as Scuola Cesenate (Cesena School).
The three friends share the same cultural, artistic and social-politic ideals; they go and live in Rome and Milan in order to wider their artistic ally limited horizon in the provinces.
What the three painters are particularly interested in is a Realist type of art which is pre-occupied in the analysis of the contemporary society.
Later on in time Sughi decides to stay on permanently in Rome and this takes leave of his two companions. Since the sixties, he was carried out various cycles, amongs which we should remember "Il quotidiano nella città", in which he faces the existential human condition in town and cities,"Cena", in which he analyses the bourgoise,"Il teatro dì'Italia","La sera" e "Notturno1998-1999".
A nucleus of the artist's designs is also on show in the gallery.
