Ezio d’Errico (1892-1972) was writer, painter and playwright, born in Agrigento. He died in the most guilty isolation, surrounded by his paintings and with only his wife next to him. Author of thrillers published with Mondadori, of theater works translated and represented also abroad, among the first abstract painters in Italy, d’Errico, a sort of Renaissance genius, is still a universe to be explored. His biographical events seem wrapped in an aura of mystery: soon left Sicily moves to Paris, where he attempts the adventure of a painter and where he meets important artists. Then, he returned to Italy, to Turin, to teach drawing: among his students, Armando Testa, who, as he later admitted, knew the works of Picasso, Chagall and Mirò thanks to his small reproductions in the magazine “Graphicus,” for which the same Ezio d’Errico draws, among other things, the first abstract cover in Italy.
