Enzo Maiolino (Santa Domenica Talao, 1926 – Bordighera, 11 November 2016) was an Italian painter. Calabrian by birth, he moved to Bordighera, Liguria, in 1937. He studied at the Accademia dei Fiori in Ventimiglia, founded by the painter Giuseppe Balbo. Faithful until the 1960s to a neo-Cubist landscape representation, he later turned to an abstraction played on chromatic scans rather than on drawing, and on the «flatness of the forms, which not infrequently intersect, intertwine and even overlap, giving rise to transparencies played on colour". Thanks to Walter Witt who also edited the catalogues, he exhibited in Cologne, Frankfurt and Münster. In Italy an anthology was dedicated to him in 2001 in the Villa Croce Museum in Genoa. In 2001 he was awarded the Mario Novaro Prize for Ligurian culture.
