Vittorio Manno (English)

Vittorio Manno was born in Squinzano in 1939. After graduating from the Institute of Art in Lecce he taught drawing and art education in secondary school. The greater part of his life has been dedicated to sharing his passion of printmaking with others. From its foundation, Manno has managed the printmaking collaborative "Grafica di Via Sette Dolori" in Matera.

In addition he has participated in numerous workshops held by: Guido Strazza, Giulia Napoleone, Lorenzo Bruno, Peter Willburger, Assadour and Henri Saunier. He collaborated with Strazza for an etching course held at Mercatello sul Metauro and with Napoleone for a course held at the University of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Manno's work has been included in numerous group shows throughout Europe, Japan, Korea, Cuba and the United States. In the VII Biennalle Male Formy Grafiki in Lodz, Poland he was awarded the Medaglia d'Onore.

His works can be found in private and public collections throughout Europe, including the Gabinetto delle Stampe Antiche e Moderne in Bagnacavallo.
