Bruno Benuzzi (1951 - ) was born in Argentiera (a ghost town in the Nurra) and spent his childhood here and there in Sardinia, in Alghero more than anything else. As a teenager he moved to Bologna where he trained culturally at the Dams and then became the holder of the Chair of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. Since 1977 he has had numerous exhibitions in Italy (1977 Fragile Galleria 2000, Bologna; 1981 Fabjbasaglia Gallery, Bologna Diagramma Gallery, 1983 Fabjbasaglia Gallery, Bologna; 1986 Anima Animale Galleria Fabjbasaglia, Bologna; anthology) Torre del Lebbroso, Aosta; 1988 Galleria Fabjbasaglia, Bologna; 1990 Rari nantes Studio Cristofori, Bologna; 1995 Admiral Placentia Arte, Piacenza; Open mouth Galleria Maniero, Rome; 1998 Polline Ass. cultural Frigieri, Sassuolo; 2003 Galleria Maniero - Rome) and abroad (New York, Tokyo, Basel, Stuttgart). Since its inception it has been part of the Nuovi-Nuovi movement supported by the art critic Renato Barilli. Benuzzi seems to want to express an absolute, and therefore mythological, feeling of space through iconically exact, but fairy-tale images that do not disdain making the effectiveness of popular iconography their own. Among others, Francesca Alinovi, Rossana Bossaglia, Giorgio Verzotti, Ida Panicelli, Umberto Eco, Roberto Daolio, Alessandra Borgogelli, Fabio Cavallucci, Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Roberto Pasini, Valerio Dehò, Vittoria Coen, Sabrina Zannier have written about him.
