Gritzko Mascioni, 1985,1987
An anomalous painter in a world of would-be artists, most of them conformist, his trueness to himself and his world of sentiments would be enough to make him an intriguing figure. What is more is that he is a painter of standing in an age that stubbornly endeavours to forget painting. Yet, it is an age that is urged by the perennial power and necessity of painting itself (perennial, at least, as far as I know, since the days of the masterpieces at Lascaux and Altamira) to rediscover it time and time again. Even in Angelo Vaninetti's secluded, though quite meaningful work.
His way of painting is probably unique: Angelo Vaninetti is a genuine poet, one of those who are poets even despite themselves. Time has also made him witness to a lesser civilisation which is big inside. His paintings send out a subdued echo of mountains and valleys long ago, which will project into the future the memory of how we used to be. Vaninetti's paintings are there to prove that living and doing is worthwhile. All that is enough to convince me that his paintings are here to stay, by virtue of their being art and by decree of time.
