Anacleto margotti (San Potito di Lugo, 2 August 1895 – Imola, 3 May 1984) was an Italian painter and critic of art.

He was born in San Potito, in the countryside north of Lugo, in a family of peasants, the last -born of Francesco Margotti, operating, and Filomena Bertuzzi. Due to the modest economic conditions of the family, he began to work very early, as an agricultural arm and laborer. Teenager, he was an apprentice in the shop of a local decorator, from whom he learned the techniques of tempera and fresco. Driven by a clear artistic vocation and stimulated by the priest Paolo Rambelli, he dedicated himself to the drawing and study of the works in the churches of the Lughese area. At 13, in 1908, he made a Self -portrait who, sent to a competition, won the first prize, allowing him to continue his artistic studies [first] .

In the summer of 1916, at the age of twenty, he was in charge of creating a painting depicting the baptism of Christ, since a work with the same subject had been lost in the fire of the Archpriest Church of Alfonsine, devastated two years earlier by some Facinorosis during the “red week”. In San Potito the Summer spent the Baracca family, whose country villa was near the Margotti house. The established aviator Francesco Baracca, at the time twenty -six -year -old, knew Margotti in person and willingly lent herself to pose in the role of Christ for the young painter [2] .

In 1917 Margotti managed to obtain the qualification to teach drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna [3] . In the first phase of his pictorial experience Margotti was close to the twentieth century; He attended the Lughese Cenacle of the futurist musician Balilla Pratella; In 1918 he settled in Imola, where he lived until his death together with his partner Elvira Martelli. He later made study trips to Vienna (1921) and Paris (1926) [4] who placed him even more in contact with the avant -garde research carried out by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse; At the end of this path he decided to return to a figurativeness marked by the narration of rural themes [5] , closer to its real dimension (being the son of laborers).

He then maintained a strong adherence to the figurative and Italian classical culture throughout his life. He chose to tell a world made of humble, poor and disinherited, seen by him with attention and respect, bringing his name closer to that of Trento Longaretti and Enrico Accatino. In 1946 he gave birth to Imola to the National Exhibition of Contemporary Art whose main animator also remained in all subsequent editions [6] (Since 1965 he changed his name to the National Figurative Art Exhibition).

After the war he returned to present his works in the major national reviews: he was present at all the four -year -olds of Rome from 1948 to 1959 and was present at the Venice Biennale in 1948 and 1950 [7] . In 1960 the city of Florence dedicated a first important anthological exhibition of him [8] .

His works are kept in numerous Italian museums and in Imola. In 1975 Margotti donated a substantial nucleus of his artistic production (250 paintings and 150 drawings) at the Cassa di Risparmio di Imola so that it was not missing. The Banking Institute, grateful, created the “Collection of Art Margotti”, still preserved at the Renaissance Palazzo Sersanti [9] .
