Giuseppe Leone was born in 1948 in Buonalbergo, province of Benevento, and here he retired a few years ago, creating a sort of studio assiduously frequented by artists, writers, men of thought and art lovers. He has been working in the art world for about 50 years, articulating his commitment between creative and didactic passion, having been the holder of the chair of techniques and technology of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, Catanzaro, Lecce, Sassari and Carrara. Member of the Academic Senate from 2006 to 2008. Over the years Leone has exhibited his works on several occasions throughout Italy. The most qualified national criticism has been interested in Leone’s work as can be read in the volume “Oro Petrolio Alchimia” (Gold Oil Alchemy) published by Denaro Books ; it can be said that he is among the most followed and appreciated artists, managing to create a fruitful and positive dialogue also with the most refractory critics.
