Alessandro Dal Prato (1909 - 2002) was an Italian painter and printmaker. The young Dal Prato built his artistic education in various cities: in Milan he attended the Brera artistic high school, in Verona the Cignaroli Academy (for his painting diploma) and finally in Parma. Here, at the Art Institute, he obtained a specialization in pictorial decoration. In the 1930s, Dal Prato approached the Mantuan artists of Catholic extraction (De Luigi, Di Capi, Donati and Perina) and developed a way of painting that would distinguish all his art: essential figures, dominated by light and intimacy, which they refer to the moral rigor of the author. Dal Prato's activity is also linked to the world of schools: in 1935, in Guidizzolo, he established a School of Applied Art, which, in 1959, became a State Institute of Art and which he directed until 1974.
