Milanese painter and sculptor · 1930–2000
A painting of disquiet
Figurative, surreal and mystical works by a reclusive artist of the Italian twentieth century.
"His work does not offer itself at once:
it asks for a gaze willing to linger."
Featured works
Angelo Marchetti moved through decades of Milanese painting while remaining faithful to an uninterrupted inner quest: figuration, the surreal, the mystical as layers of a single question about existence. His works belong to private collections and are documented by the association's archive.

Dino Villani, "Parliamoci", Milan 1971
The man Marchetti is shy, but the mild gaze with which he observes the world and his interlocutors could nonetheless prove deceptive, for the audacity of Marchetti the painter is of a disconcerting virulence, beyond all possible imagination.
Renato Cuzzoni, Milan 1975
