Life

Francesco Trombatore, the first of four children of a bookseller, was interested in art and was fascinated by Caravaggio's funeral of St. Lucia . In 1907 he moved to Rome and completed courses at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma there . He had his first exhibition in 1911 in his hometown Syracuse, in the foyer of the Teatro Comunale on the island of Ortygia .

In 1913 Trombatore changed its name to Trombadóri. In 1914 he showed his works at the Second International Exhibition of the Secession . Under the pseudonym Franz d'Ortigia he illustrated the book Piccolo mondo dannunziano by Ermanno Amicucci .

Studio No. 12, Villa Strohl-Fern

In 1915 Trombadori went to war and was wounded. In 1919 Trombadori moved into a studio in the Villa Strohl-Fern . Trombadori's circle of friends included Giorgio de Chirico , Riccardo Francalancia , Carlo Socrate and Antonio Donghi . From 1924 Trombadori was shown at the Biennale di Venezia . In 1926 he was the only Sicilian to be part of the first exhibition of the Novecento artist group in Milan.

In the 1930s his pictures were also shown abroad ( Buenos Aires , Stockholm , Oslo , at the Exhibition of Contemporary Italian Painting in Baltimore ). Towards the end of the Second World War, Trombadori was arrested and interrogated by the political police because his son Antonello was wanted by the SS . Francesco Trombadori died in his studio in the Villa Strohl-Fern, a few months after his last solo exhibition. Trombadori's Atelier No. 12 has been a listed building since 1985, contains furnishings from the era, several works as well as the painter's archive and library.
