Luigi Ademollo was one of the most famous fresco painters of the 18th century. Compared to other parts of the world at that time, it was relatively easy to gain a foothold as a painter in Italy. He was born in Milan, studied at the Bera Academy and later worked in Rome and Florence. Both were the main centres of the cultural and artistic world par excellence. Italy was and is world famous for its frescoes and Ademollo followed the tradition of depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments in this style. Therefore it did not take long before he became professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He painted in theatres, decorated theatre curtains and helped to fresco the Royal Chapel of the Pitti Palace. Among his works are the frescoes in the churches of Santissima Annunziata and Sant'Abrogio. In Siena, another Italian cultural centre, he was responsible for the frescoes in Palazzo Segardi and Palazzo Venturi Gallerani. When he died in Florence, the city of the arts par excellence, in 1849, he left a wife with a few children and an artistic heritage that was in no way inferior to that of Bernini.
Not every Italian of that time became a painter or artist. Many tried, but few succeeded, like Ademollo. The special thing about him is that he had a talent for following in the footsteps of the old masters and the good fortune that this was recognised and rewarded. Inspired by his life and success, his son Agostino wrote love stories like "Marietta di Ricci". His nephew Carlo, inspired by the family success, became a successful history and battle scene painter.
What would have become of Ademollo if he had not left Milan? No one can answer that with certainty, of course. But one thing is certain: he had to make the decision about the path of his life and take the first step. He did that by deciding to study painting. He took the next step by deciding to go to Florence and Rome. Certainly the environment also influences talent, inspiration and expression. Every artist wants to visit Florence once in his life. No other city in Italy shows such artistic diversity as Florence. Moreover, it was vital for every artist to find a patron or good commissions. This city was simply "gold right" for artists. The handicraft boomed and so rich merchants were not far away. Many nobles had their country estates in the vicinity of the city. Each of the bridges of Florence is dedicated to a different craft. So there are the bridges of the goldsmiths or the bridges of the leather and basketry. Ademollo therefore had very good prospects of success in this city. Especially his way of traditionally depicting biblical events was very well received. It is not surprising that he was successful with his way of fresco painting as well as his family.
