Live and act

Igino grew up in the house of his wealthy Jewish father, the art lover and coin collector Moisè Supino (1812–1878). After attending school he stayed in Pisa and apprenticed to the history painter Alessandro Lanfredini (1826–1900). In 1883 he moved to Antonio Ciseri at the Florentine Accademia . In Florence he met the Macchiaioli Giovanni Fattori and Telemaco Signorini who appreciated his first essays. On Symbolism interested, he became friends with Vittorio Corcos on. In Florence he took part in exhibitions from 1885 to 1889.

Igino Supino turned to the study of art history; has attended lectures from Pasquale Villari and Alessandro D'Ancona at the Istituto di Studi Superiori di Firenze since 1886 . From then on he preferred the positivistic art historiography over the painting profession. From 1888 to 1889 he wrote in Rome , inspired by the art historian Adolfo Venturi (1856–1941), contributions a. a. for the satirical paper Don Chisciotte (published 1887–1899).

In 1889 he returned to his hometown as the state Ispettore agli Scavi e Monumenti della Provincia di Pisa and devoted himself to the study and care of the works of art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. For this purpose, he was commissioned by the city of Pisa as Conservatore della Pinacoteca Civica in 1892 with the reorganization of the municipal museum that he was able to open in 1893. In the meantime he published numerous art historical works, for example on Giovanni Pisano , Tino di Camaino and Giovanni Bologna .

In 1896 he moved with his family to Florence and took over the management of the Museo nazionale del Bargello . In 1904 he became director of this museum. In November 1906 he followed a call as professor of aesthetics and art history at the University of Bologna . In 1933 he retired, but worked for another five years at his alma mater at the art history institute that he had once co-founded. In 1938 he was denied entry according to the then applicable racial laws . In the last two years of his life, for example, he wrote another volume on art in the churches of Bologna in his house in Via Dante Alighieri in Bologna. The latter work remained unfinished.
