Guglielmo Guglielmini (Bergamo, 15 December 1870 - Bergamo, 1911) was an Italian painter of the Art Nouveau style.
Biography[edit]
Born in Bergamo in 1870, foundling child adopted by a craftman's family, he studied drawing at the School of painting of the Accademia Carrara in his home town with the renown painter Ponziano Loverini[1] and later at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.
He moved to Eritrea in 1896 to make sketches and drawings about the Ethiopian war for illustrated journals. After having come back to his home town, he established a workshop of paints and fresco paintings in the ancient street Sant’Alessandro.[2] He painted vivid frescos in the Church of Boltiere and on the vault and first span of the lateral Chapel of Saint Jesus of the Church of "Santa Maria Immacolata delle Grazie" of Bergamo.[3] and in the Hall of the Drinks of the Spa of San Pellegrino.[4]
Among the deserted ruins of a rustic porch uphill near the spring, a broad Hall in Pompeian style has been raised, 32 meters long that is devoted to drinking the spa salt water. From its upper wall, a long, concrete trough protrudes from which the water flowing from the nearby spring falls. The ceiling and the walls were decorated by the renown painters, Gottardo Valentini from Milan, and Guglielmini from Bergamo, with paintings and allegorical figures, perhaps too provocative.
Painter and decorator pertaining to the Art Nouveau style, he participated to the Milan International Exhibition, 1906 and took part in the competition for designing the membership card of the Circolo Artistico Bergamasco (1910)[5]. He died still young in 1911 and has been inhumated at the Monumental cimitery of Bergamo.
