Piergiorgio Zangara was born in Palermo in 1943. He began learning art from his father, a painter and restorer, and furthered his studies at the State Institute of Art in Palermo. During the 1960s, he became part of the artistic group associated with the bookshop-gallery of the publisher Salvatore Fausto Flaccovio, where he had the opportunity to interact with the major exponents of Sicilian culture of the time and to exhibit his works in events national and international. In 1976, he moved to Milan and began collaborating with the Arte Struktura gallery directed by Anna Canali. Zangara, after having experimented with figurative art, orienting his painting towards geometric and essential forms, became increasingly closer to logical and constructive rules and to the third dimension, also making use of the opportunities offered by the innovative cultural context that surrounded him. In his artistic production, he used materials such as plexiglass, aluminum and plastic to create luministic and kinetic forms that allowed transparencies, refractions and projections of virtual images. In 1999, Zangara became part of the International Madí Movement and since then he participated in all the events held in Italy and in various foreign countries.
