Roberto Luigi Valente was Born in 1926, the forth son of a farming and wine producing family of Frosinone, Picinisco, Antica near Casino in view of the Abrutzzi mountains, where he still lives. He has famously painted this most beautiful area of Italy for over fifty years.

As well as exhibitions in Rome and Napoli, which have included his vast fiery canvases, Roberto’s work can be found in many corners of the world as original paintings and published prints.

Now approaching what he terms as middle age, Roberto has decided to concentrate on smaller works completed in the perfect light of his favourite region, complemented by the ever present cigarette and glass of red wine.

The Colomb Art Gallery currently has a number of original paintings by Roberto Luigi Valente
