Renzo Vespignani was an Italian painter, printmaker, and illustrator, co-founder of II Pro e II Contro (Pro and Con), which sought to develop new directions in neo-realism. Vespignani's 1944 drawings realistically depicted the destruction of German-occupied Rome. He also illustrated works by Boccaccio, Kafka, and T. S. Eliot.
