GIUSEPPE NOVELLO<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Giuseppe Novello was born in Codogno on 7 July 1897 to Eugenio Novello, Venetian, and Antonietta Belloni, from Codogno and sister of the painter Giorgio Belloni. He studied at the Berchet High School in Milan, frequenting his painter uncle’s studio with a certain regularity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite his propensity for art, Giuseppe is induced by his father, a bank manager, to enrol in the Faculty of Law. In 1915 he graduated in Pavia with a thesis on copyright in the figurative arts, after having fought the great war as an Alpine soldier, with the 46th Company of the Tirano Battalion.<\/em><\/p>\n

Having entered the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 1919, he studied painting under the guidance of Ambrogio Alciati. His first participation in a collective exhibition took place in 1924, when he won the Fumagalli Competition with “Interno borghese”, from that moment he began a very long and fruitful series of works and collaborations with exponents of his contemporary creative scene.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Novello participated in the Russian campaign with the V Alpine Regiment. Having returned to Italy in March 1943, he was taken prisoner in Fortezza on 9 September and transferred to the internment camp for Italian officers in Czestochowa, Poland. From here he is taken to Benjaminovo and then to the German concentration camps of San Bostel and Wietzendorf.<\/em><\/p>\n

He could return to Italy, as an “artist”, joining the fascist party, but he refuses and shares imprisonment with Giovannino Guareschi, Roberto Rebora and the philosopher Enzo Paci. He returned to Italy in the autumn of 1945 and resumed his artistic activity at full speed.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1984 the Municipality of Milan awarded him the gold medal of merit. On the occasion of Novello’s 90th birthday, a collection of lametta postcards sent by the artist to relatives and friends over the years is released.<\/em><\/p>\n

Giuseppe Novello died in his home in Codogno on 2 February 1988.<\/em><\/p>\n
