Maurizio Bonolis, Painter, Naples

 

Maurizio Bonolis was born in Naples on 16 August 1952. Basically self-taught, he began painting as a child, creating his first oil paintings in 1962.

His training as a painter had its roots in the fertile artistic environment of the Marche, the Region where his maternal family came from. Here, in long summer stays on the Adriatic coast, he learned the rudiments of technique in the studio of the painter Lila Perozzi. After that he attended the Libera Scuola di Pittura [Free School of Painting] in Grottammare, under the guidance of the painter Mario Lupo.

His naturalistic figurative vision is behind his initial works, with a particular preference for landscapes and especially galloping horses.

Following that, he entered a stage that could be called metaphysical symbolist, characterised by the representation of surreal birds and flights of Icarus.

His paintings also make numerous “sorties” into abstractionism.

Paolo Bonolis, Showman and presenter

 

Born in Rome on 14 June 1961 to a family that originated from Milan, Paolo Bonolis began in show business when he was still young. After spending some years as a presenter of children’s programmes, among them “Tre due uno contatto… game” [“Three Two One Contact... Game”] (early ’80s) and “Bim bum bam” [“Bing Bang Bong”] between ’83 and ’90, Paolo Bonolis then transferred to the early evening slot with extremely successful programmes such as “I Cervelloni” [“The Brain-boxes”, “Beato tra le donne” [“Blessed Among Women”],  “Tira e molla” [“Fast and Loose”].

His particular sense of humour and sarcastic style, an expression of his wide culture and great personality, meant that Paolo Bonolis scored other hits with the programmes “Ciao Darwin” [“Hi Darwin”], “Chi ha incastrato Peter Pan” [“Who Framed Peter Pan”], “Italiani” [“Italians”]. 

He deservedly earned immense popularity with the daily programme “Striscia la notizia” [“Slide In the News”], teaming up with Luca Laurenti, and then returned to the State broadcaster, the RAI, to front “Domenica In” [“What’s Hot on Sunday”] and “Affari tuoi” [“What Concerns You”], achieving huge audience popularity with the latter.

At the beginning of 2005, Paolo Bonolis confirmed himself to be at the top of his profession, presenting the 55th Festival of Sanremo, Italy’s prestigious song contest. Here he demonstrated to the full his experience and bravura as presenter and showman, making this 55th Festival one of the greatest successes in terms of audience ratings.

In autumn 2005, Bonolis returned to Mediaset to front the extremely popular sports programme “Serie A” .

Paolo Bonolis is married to Sonia Bruganelli and they have two children. He also has two children from his earlier marriage to the American psychologist, Diane Zoeller - Stefano, aged 20, and Martina, aged 16, who live with their mother in the United States.

 

Giuseppe Bonolis  Painter, 1800-1851
Self-Portrait – Macerata, Pinacoteca Civica

 

Born in Teramo in 1800, Giuseppe Bonolis completed his drawing studies and then started teaching calligraphy at the Royal College. Soon afterwards (1822), due to his involvement in the Carbonari movements, he fled to Naples, where he taught at the girls’ school of San Marcellino. At the same time he continued to exercise himself with ornate drawing and to study architecture and mathematics. He eventually enrolled in the Royal Institute of Arts.
Later on, after having spent some time in Rome studying Italian painting, he went back to Naples where he successfully joined the Court environment and became a famous and refined portraitist. He then specialized in historical/mythological subjects and in 1841 founded an art school where a few major naturalistic painters were trained. 
He died in Naples in 1851, leaving 5 children (three sons and two daughters), who initiated the Neapolitan branch of the Bonolis descent.
A number of his works are exhibited in the Capodimonte Gallery in Naples, in the Cathedral and Municipal Palace of Teramo and in the Municipal Picture Gallery of Macerata.
