Tancredi Parmeggiani, or simply Tancredi, was an Italian painter.
He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Along with Mario Deluigi and Lucio Fontana, Tancredi Parmeggiani is considered one of the most important representatives of Spazialismo ("Spatial Movement"). This concept of art was developed by Fontana, in which he saw a new spatial concept of technology and science as the basis of modern art. Tancredi Parmeggiani was also convinced that the surface of the image should cross the boundaries of two-dimensionality to open new dimensions through color and time and find new artistic solutions.
The famous collector Peggy Guggenheim was his patron and promoted his lyrical-abstract works to major American museums. Tancredi's work was critically acclaimed, he actively participated in many exhibitions in Italy, London, Paris and New York, and was the recipient of several prestigious awards. In 1964 he took part in the Venice Biennale, and in September of the same year, at the age of 37, he took his own life in Rome.
