Inauguration of the personal exhibition "la Caricatura".

The “Caricature” exhibition by Frank Federighi, curated by Silvia Di Paolo and Rocco Normanno, was successfully inaugurated at the Museum of Contemporary and Twentieth Century Art in Monsummano Terme. The exhibition, dedicated to satire, collects original works by the Lucca-born artist Francesco Federighi aka Frank. Five rooms for 68 paintings of famous people, politicians, musicians, actors, sportsmen, artists, television VIPs, all 'retouched' by the pungent and skilled brush of the Lucca-born artist Frank Federighi, a true master of the caricature genre. No one escapes Frank's hand: from the politicians of our house to Zelensky and Putin, from Pope Francis to Queen Elizabeth and King Charles III up to Sophia Loren, Terence Hill and Sylvester Stallone, up to famous artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso and the sports figures including Massimiliano Allegri, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simone Inzaghi through to small screen celebrities such as Amadeus. Francesco Federighi aka Frank was born in Lucca on 30 September 1973 and from a very young age he worked for prestigious publishing houses and weeklies such as Max, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, Il Tirreno and L'Espresso, which defines him as the heir of Mulatier, a well-known illustrator 80s French; he has also collaborated with the magazines Ciak, Efeso and Riflessi. For many years now, for the newspapers Libero, Il Fatto Quotidiano, TPI and Piauí (a well-known Brazilian monthly), he has been drawing caricatures of political figures, from the world of economics and of famous people in general.
