Roberto Masi was born in Florence, Italy, in 1940, into a poor family. Despite being artistically gite, he had to choose a career, so he studied for a diploma in Computer Technlogy, before earning a degree in Business. After two years, however, his passion for art got the uper hand. He enrolled at the Accademia and began to timidly display his work at exhibits. Looking back, that burdensome and difficult start proved useful. Of course, it was anything but simle. Despite his acquaintances in the world of theatre, he devoted himself also to scenography and, eventually, he became stage manager at Florence’s Piccolo Teatro. Finally, in 1974, Masi met Lucia Burgassi, gallery owner who opened his door to a solid painting career. From there his career began a gradual but steady ascent to success. He partecipated in the most important national and international fairs along with many big exhibitions. His works are in important collections in Italy and abroad.
