Toti Scialoja
Toti (Antonio) Shaloya is an Italian artist and poet. After a period of expressionism, he moved to an abstract-concrete pictorial language with a strong material charge. A significant part of his activity is devoted to the theater, for which he collaborated with avant-garde writers, musicians, directors and choreographers. Since 1961, he began an independent poetic activity, partly dedicated to children, creating nonsense and limericks and illustrating his own poems. He was a teacher and director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
