Giuliano Della Casa was born in Modena in 1942. He grew up in the Emilia of the great artists Spatola, Ghirri, Parmiggiani, and it was that open and lively network of writers, musicians, visual artists that shaped his formation alongside Art School.
He soon established himself as a painter, starting from his first personal exhibition in Modena in 1966, he then showed his watercolors in Italy and around the world - to the point of considering California as a second home - as his work preserved and developed the breadth of its origins.
The title of a Tokyo exhibition he participated to says it all, "Words, Image, Object": painting and illustration, craft publishing and ceramics, 'terracotta poetry', the passion of an artist for matter, for crossings and mixes . He illustrated literary monuments such as Pellegrino Artusi's recipe book and Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel, he created book covers, worked with writers and poets on the creation of works that intertwine words and images, drew stage sketches for the theater.
