Giuseppe Rivaroli was born in Cremona in 1885. In 1928 in Rome he frescoed the Ministry of the Navy Headquarters with two monumental works, such as Roma trionfante and Roma vittoriosa sul mare. In 1932, also in Rome, he worked for two months on the great decoration of the International Institute of Agriculture: a playful allegorical exaltation of Agriculture, of country life, of the solid family; the whole scene, which has for its background a soft and placid vision of the Agro interrupted by a scapigliato clump of pines, is full of movement and vivacity in a play of lights, foreshortenings, draperies, preciousness of crops, fruits, flowers and is remarkable above all for the many nudes, in which one appreciates the accurate study of the attitudes of the hands,feet put with beautiful frankness in continuous evidence.

Rivaroli's painting is never obscure, it lives by its own light, the light that he himself manages to transport into the subjects he most loved to paint: men, animals, the countryside.
