Antonio Ievolella was born in Benevento in 1952 and attended the artistic high school of his city before enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. In Naples, he closely followed the activities of Lucio Amelio's gallery, where he had the opportunity to meet the protagonists of the main international artistic trends. In 1976, he began teaching at the artistic high school in Milan and made friends with fellow countryman Mimmo Paladino. Two years later, he moved to the artistic high school of Padua, where he established his residence and continued to practice his art. In 1987, he held his first solo exhibition at the Studio La Città gallery in Verona, thanks to which he was introduced to the international public by his friend Hélène de Franchis. The following year, he participated in the exhibition Eleven artists for Villa Domenica, curated by Virginia Baradel. In 1988, Giovanni Carandente invited him to the XLIII Venice Biennale, where he presented Trittico in the Sculptors in the Gardens section, curated by Andrea del Guercio. In the 1990s, Ievolella continued to work intensely, with exhibitions such as Viaggi - Antonio Ievolella/Hidetoshi Nagaswa at Studio La Città, and the large Rio cemetery complex in Ponte San Nicolò. In 2006, he held his solo exhibition Materia Forma Luogo at Castel dell'Ovo, promoted by the Culture Department of the Municipality of Naples and curated by Tommaso Ferrillo. In 2008 and 2009, he created two large fountains for a private villa in Battaglia Terme and for the square of Voltabarozzo. In 2014, he presented his impressive work Ghirbe at the church of the Incoronata in Naples, and subsequently in his anthology in Padua, after having dedicated a long period to its conception and creation.
