Biography 1961
At a personal exhibition held at the Cavallino Gallery in Venice (the catalogue introduced by Michel Tapié), he exhibits Memorie and symbolic images achieved with mixed techniques. He takes part in the joint exhibition Giovani Pittori in Piemonte held at the Olivetti Centro Culturale in Ivrea. Three paintings representing the Martiri di Belfiore are commissioned by the Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento in Turin, where they are still on view today. The biggest novelty of the Venetian exhibition is no doubt formed by the Flani: typographical scraps of bits of news earmarked for the press and general public, then destroyed. Although still used as technological ready-mades at this exhibition and revived as a medium, a container for the paintbrush, they will soon become free and self-significant. Some drawings on flani and plain paper are published in the book Disegni e parole by Luigi Carluccio, Edoardo Sanguineti and Ezio Gribaudo (Fratelli Pozzo Editori, Turin). Ezio Gribaudo then takes part in the Premio Ramazzotti in Milan and the joint exhibition Aspetti dellarte contemporanea held in Aquila, as well as the Giovani Pittori in Piemonte exhibition at the Olivetti Centro Culturale in Ivrea.
