Nico Paladini was born in Empoli on 18 October 1949. Since he was a child he showed a strong tendency for drawing and colour, this inclination oriented his studies towards artistic subjects. Of a turbulent and imaginative character, he conducted a distant and often interrupted school education, attended the Art Schools of Savona and Florence, abandoning these studies, and then graduated in 1970 from the Art Institute of Siena. A few years earlier, he had met the writer Peter Kolosimo; fascinated by Kolosimo's fantastic theories on the origins of civilizations, Paladini oriented his artistic production in an increasingly surrealist direction.
