Luigi Lucioni was born in Malnate, Italy, in 1900 and became one of America's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail. Beginning in 1929, Luigi Lucioni spent part of each year in Manchester Depot township in Vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. In the 1930s, while European Modernism was gaining momentum in the United States, Luigi Lucioni remained committed to Realism. Lucioni is particularly known for his paintings and prints depicting the bucolic splendor of the Stowe area of central Vermont. Lucioni’s work can be found in numerous public and private collections throughout the United States.
