Alberto Sughi, born on 5 October 1928 in Cesena, was an Italian painter among the leading exponents of the second half of the 20th century. Self-taught, he approached painting thanks to his uncle, who taught him the first technical rudiments. He debuted as a painter in a group show in Cesena in 1946. Two years later, he moved to Rome, where he met Renato Guttuso through Cesena native Biagio Dradi Maraldi. However, in 1951 he returned to Cesena and settled in a room inside Rocca Malatestiana. Later, he moved to the country house of Carpineta on the Cesena hills. Sughi stands out for his approach to realism, choosing to depict everyday life without heroes, in contrast to the socially engaged paintings typical of the postwar period. Enrico Crispolti, in 1956, defined his painting as “existential realism.” His artistic research develops through thematic cycles, including the “Green Paintings” (1971–1973), devoted to the man–nature relationship, the cycle “The Dinner” (1975–1976), and “Imagination and Memory of the Family” in the early 1980s. Sughi also explored graphics, creating a significant corpus of engravings, lithographs and screen prints from 1946 to 2011. His graphic work, characterized by intense tension toward mastering graphic techniques and exploring the mark, enriches reciprocally his painted oeuvre. Sughi’s career includes important exhibitions such as two solo shows in Bologna and Turin in 1962, participation in the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale, of which he was president in 1993. In 2005, the President of the Italian Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi awarded him the Vittorio De Sica Prize for Culture. His works have been shown in solo exhibitions in prestigious places such as the Modern Art Gallery of Bologna, Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, and abroad in cities like Moscow, Prague and São Paulo. He has also participated in international exhibitions, including the “Contemporary Italian Paintings” show in Australia in 1963 and “Peintures italiennes d’aujourd’hui” in the Middle East and North Africa. Alberto Sughi was also active in the cultural and political scene. He participated in municipal politics as a councilor for the PCI in Cesena. He also met important directors such as Mario Monicelli and Ettore Scola. In 1980, he definitively moved to Rome. In 1994, he became President of the National Quadriennale of Art in Rome and participated in exhibitions such as “The Inner Portrait” in Aosta. In 2007, two retrospective exhibitions were dedicated to him: one at the Malatestiana Library in Cesena, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, and the other at the Vittoriano Complex in Rome. In 2009, his work was shown in Palermo and later in London at the Italian Cultural Institute. He participated in the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011, presenting “A World of Cold and Ice.” Alberto Sughi died on 31 March 2012 in Bologna at the age of 83, leaving an invaluable artistic legacy that continues to influence the world of contemporary art.
