Biography

Angelo Donadoni was born in post-war northern Italy in 1945. His father did not recognize him. Her mother was a prostitute. At 13, he was placed in a reformatory. Then, very quickly, he found himself in the streets and committed thefts to survive.


"With such a past, how could he become anything but a mobster?" His painting almost gave him a second chance at life. But the Italian prison system and serious heart problems got the better of his skin.
