Tramonto nello stadio, 1973

Having grown up in a learned family environment frequented by painters, writers, musicians and intellectuals, Titina Maselli developed an artistic vocation at a young age, encouraged first by her father Ercole, a well-known art critic linked to the Roman School of the 1930s, and then by Toti Scialoja, whom she would marry in 1945. But Maselli soon broke away from both of them, developing her own personal iconography that would never abandon her and which would intentionally keep her outside of any style or artistic movement of the day.
