Vinicio Berti

After completing his artistic studies, Vinicio Berti began working as an expressionist artist, and took part in the innovating movement in Italian contemporary art. During the 1940s, he made many paintings with war themes, and from 1946, began working in a more political fashion. He was editor of the Nuova Toscana newspaper, and made his version of 'Pinocchio' around 1947. He also made stories with characters like 'Gian Burrasca', 'Ciondolino', 'Il Pioniere Chidino' and 'Atomino'.
