Gregorio Calvi di Bergolo (1902 - 1995) was born in Turin in 1902 into an illustrious family of Piedmontese nobility. He taught for several decades in the Academies of Turin and Venice, and then retired to paint in the Monferrato hills. Through his artistic practice, he explored a wide range of genres, including still lifes, portraits, religious themes and, of course, landscapes, to which he devoted himself with particular fervor in the last years of his career. Paintings of plowed fields, hills flooded with light at all hours of the day, rows of trees and groves and, above all, highways, dirt roads, barely perceptible paths and alleys that seem to vanish into the countryside, demonstrate the artist's affection for the Piedmontese landscape. A recurring motif is the road, which puts the gaze into action, which is led to penetrate the space, traveling through it.
