Until 4 February 2024 at MEIS
Born in Nice in 1939 to Italian parents from Ferrara, Leo Contini Lampronti grew up and studied in Rome and Milan. He moved to Israel in 1967 with his wife Marcella Mayer and their two children Saul and Rosa. Hava, their third child, was born in Tel Aviv. An industrialist, he increasingly devoted himself to his passion for art and became a painter after a long training period, thanks in particular to Naftali Bezem and Pietro Maria Bardi. From the 1980s onwards, he exhibited all over the world. His daughter Hava and Yael Sonnino-Levy have organised this exhibition at MEIS, which marks the return of the artist and his work to Ferrara.
