Pasquale Celommi
Pasquale Celommi (1851-1928) attended the School of Nude Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and was appreciated in Italy and throughout Europe, receiving important recognitions. The protagonists of his work are landscapes and people who animate glimpses of intimate everyday life flooded with light, a characteristic trait of the artist. Even in religious subjects, there is the emotionality and intimacy of the simplest gestures. Through his painting, he expresses the essence of our land amidst paths, fields, sunrises, and sunsets over the sea.
Raffaello Celommi
Raffaello Celommi (1881 – 1957) was the son of Pasquale Celommi and already as a child showed interest in painting, taking his first artistic steps in his father’s studio. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and throughout his career contributed to deepen the stylistic figure of his father, according to common opinion, surpassing him at a technical level. The subjects related to the territory, the landscapes, and the portrayed people refer to the themes dear to Pasquale but through a more brilliant palette, they restore an even more poetic and vibrant atmosphere.
Luigi Celommi
Luigi Celommi (1933 – 2016) is the third ring of the “painters of light”. In the initial phase of his painting, his works clearly reflected the technique and subjects dear to his grandfather and father. In a second phase, his works begin to prefer different themes, drawing inspiration from the world of work, feminine images, and social issues.
Riccardo Celommi
Riccardo Celommi (1967) is the son of Luigi Celommi and represents the fourth generation of the painting dynasty. His paintings, depicting landscapes and female figures in particular, have been exhibited in numerous galleries throughout Italy.
Pier Giuseppe Di Blasio
Pier Giuseppe Di Blasio (1896 – 1964), a painter and ceramist, attended the Fine Arts Institute of Rome where he first exhibited his work at the Casa d’Arte Palazzi in 1925. His art is always attentive to social reality, with a predilection for female images and work in the fields.
Bruno Zenobio
Bruno Zenobio (1941) is one of the most important representatives of the ancient art of mosaics at an international level. He has received many awards and exhibited his work all over the world. His mosaics shine in our city in a surprising explosion of colors.
For example, we can admire them in the Church of the Sacro Cuore and on the central seafront. Bruno is a master in his field, but above all, he is a master of life with extraordinary sensitivity and unique charisma. In addition to his mosaic production, his numerous anecdotes and his love for art and Roseto are a cultural heritage that we cannot do without.
Remo Maggetti
Remo Maggetti (1937 – 2003) is a basketball symbol of Roseto. Since he was very young, he immediately stood out for his explosive dynamism, incredible speed, and ability to rise to the basket. His career was a succession of call-ups, titles, and victories in various cities in Italy and in the National team.
He won championships, the Intercontinental Cup of Madrid, the Italian Cup, the Cup Winners’ Cup, and had a long career in Serie A, constantly winning the top scorer.
After retiring from the game, he worked extensively in management in youth teams, becoming a reference point for sports in Roseto.
Since 2004, the sports hall in Roseto degli Abruzzi has been named after him, and every year an international summer tournament, the “Ministars” Tournament, is held in his memory, with the participation of youth teams.
