Artist
Luigi Ontani was born on 24 November 1943 in Montovolo di Grizzana Morandi, near Vergato, a small village on the slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. As a boy he loved reading, interested above all in Pasolini, Apollinaire, Joyce, Savinio, Marinetti and the Futurists, and he also revealed an early inclination towards poetry. His stay in Turin for his military service between 1963 and 1964 gave him the possibility of going to museums and galleries active, above all, in the avant-garde field. He made his first contacts with dealers and emergent artists.
