Biography.
Nicolas De Corsi (Odessa, 1882 – Torre del Greco, 1956) was an Italian painter.
Son of the Italian consul in the Ukrainian city of Odessa and Emma Suppinich, he was born in 1882. A year after his birth, his father died and two years later his mother remarried the Spanish nobleman Gutierrez, also a consul in Russia.
The following year the entire family went to Madrid, where the young painter's training took place. In 1896, following the death of his stepfather, he went to Italy, in particular to Rome, where he first attended the free Academy of S. Lucia (from which he was later removed) and then the evening school of the Artistic Club, and to Naples.
In 1900 the painter went on holiday to Torre del Greco (an event which proved to be very important in the painter's life). He subsequently participated in numerous exhibitions (National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Milan; Autumn Salon in Paris; IX International Exhibition in Venice; Quadrennial in Rome).
In 1930 his mother passed away and in 1934 the painter moved permanently to Torre del Greco. He left the Vesuvian town only in 1940 because he was displaced to Vico Equense, only to return in 1945. He died in 1956 at the age of seventy-four, in the home of his pupil Antonio Madonna.
