Les Meules en Foin (c.1910)

Born in Livorno, Gino Romiti was an Italian painter who trained under Guglielmo Micheli. In 1898, he exhibited at the Permanente di Milano and at the Venetian Esposizione d’Arte in 1908 and 1912, returning to the Biennale in 1952. The Gruppo Labronico of painters that met in the Caffè Bardi, the famous Livorno venue that became a mecca for young artists of the time, was founded in his studio on July 15, 1920. He was president of the group until its closing in 1946.

Gino Romiti’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, the record price being $17,588 USD for Paesaggio con Carretto e Buoi, sold at Sotheby’s Milan in 2007.
