Federigo Severini in 1960

Federigo Severini was born in Pisa and took to painting from childhood, producing his first works at the age of only ten. He painted uninterruptedly throughout his lifetime whilst still finding time to qualify as a civil engineer and university professor, contributing to many prestigious buildings, including the Palazzo della Provincia, the Palazzo delle Poste, the Faculty of Engineering and several university clinics in Pisa, the Villa Puccini and Villa Jacomelli in Viareggio. Painting, however, remained the love of his life. His favourite subjects were, apart from the city of Pisa itself and portraits, Bocca d’Arno, Marina di Pisa and San Rossore.
