Ferruccio De Filippi was born in Rome in 1943 and grew up in a city that, at the end of the 1960s, was experiencing a great artistic ferment around Piazza del Popolo, with Pop Art and Arte Povera at center stage. In 1970, his first solo exhibition, entitled "Anthropological", took place at Gian Tommaso Liverani's La Salita gallery.
Until the mid-1970s, the artist continued his research along this line, but then he was influenced by the generation of conceptual artists who rethought making art and rediscovered the "nostalgia of painting". In 1977, De Filippi presented the work "La strada del latte", again at the Salita, which contributed to the iconographic experimentation of those years. Over time, the artist's works have lost any type of narrative and any historical reference, and his research has moved towards a recovery of form and the elaboration of anti-classical iconography. The artist also makes use of terracotta sculpture with the engobe or painted technique.
Ferruccio De Filippi was one of the main interpreters of conceptual art in Rome, participating in international exhibitions such as the VIII Paris Biennial and "Italy two. Art around '70" at the Museum of the Philadelphia Civic Center. During the 1970s, he created a personal path centered on drawing, which he continued to deepen in his daily practice.
