Giulio Aristide Sartorio (1860 –1932)
Giulio Aristide Sartorio was an Italian painter and film director from Rome. Alongside the activity of landscape artist who saw him, in 1904, among the promoters of the XXV group of the Roman Campagna, he had numerous public commissions like the famous decorative frieze for the new Parliament hall, 1908-12) in whose literary inspiration merges with a refined design elegance.
This was a great decorative enterprise of the first decade of the twentieth century in a climate of fierce affirmation of national values in a fresh country of unification, for which the artist has passed notoriously to history.
