Salvatore Meli Biography

Salvatore Meli (1929 - 2011) was born in Comiso (Ragusa, Italy) in 1929. Having moved to Rome, he frequented the artistic environment and made friends with Giuseppe Capogrossi, Renato Guttuso, Nino Caruso and Leoncillo and became assistant to Marino Mazzacurati at the Academy of Fine Arts. At the end of the 1940s he began to deal with ceramics and his work soon obtained widespread recognition: he participated in the Milan Art Triennale in 1951, in the Pesaro and Messina Competition in 1952, in the Faenza Prize in 1953, where obtained the first prize ex-aequo with Carlo Zauli by presenting a pair of wick vases with polychrome figures, again at the Milan Triennials of 1954 and 1957, and at the Venice Biennale of 1958. Starting from the years between the two wars, with a ceramic studio of its own in Largo di Villa Massimo, creates majolica terracotta sculptures in unique pieces and archaic style majolica often using the so-called wick technique. Meli died in Rome in 2011.
