Ugo Nespolo was born in Mosso Santa Maria, in the province of Biella, into a middle-class family. First he graduated from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and then obtained a degree in Modern Literature at the University of the Piedmontese capital. Its beginnings in the Italian art scene date back to the Sixties, to Pop Art, to the conceptual and poor future and to the environment that revolved around the new avant-gardes (exhibitions at the Il Punto di Remo Pastori Gallery, in Turin, and the Schwarz Gallery of Milan). His production, never tied exclusively to a single trend, is characterized from the beginning by an accentuated ironic, transgressive, playful imprint, for a personal sense of fun that will always represent a sort of trademark.
