Giuseppe Guglielmo Umberto Caselli, known as Pino (Luzzara, 5 July 1893 - La Spezia, 19 December 1976), was an Italian painter.
Born in 1893 in the locality of Villarotta di Luzzara (Reggio Emilia), it is formed at the free school of the nude at the Academy of Florence. Returning to La Spezia, where he lives since he was a child, he is a pupil of Del Santo and Discovolo.
He comes into contact with the artistic environment that gravitates around the new magazine The heroic of the writer Specino Ettore Cozzani and dedicates himself to the woodcut engraving. In 1913 he met Lorenzo Viani.
During the First World War he is taken prisoner and interned in the prison camp of Mauthausen in Austria; From this experience he has drawn numerous premonitory works of the drama of the subsequent conflict.
His painting based first for the first divisionist experiences of the early twentieth century comes to personal expressionism, close to the Austrian innovative movements, but also to the poetics of Viani. Many of his works are inspired by the memories of imprisonment.
With airport works, in 1933 he exhibited at the Gulf Prize organized by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and will return to participate in many of the following editions.
Very linked to La Spezia, he paints the many aspects of the city and its province, Lunigiana and nearby Cinque Terre in particular.
The Allende Center of Spezia in 1981 dedicated a posthumous anthological exhibition to him.
