Alessandro Gallotti was born in Pavia on 21 January 1879. He interrupted his classical studies to enroll at the Civic School of Painting, studying under the guidance of Pietro Michis (1836-1903) from Milan, a pupil of Giuseppe Bertini, a historicist painter, who held a professorship in Pavia until 1899. In 1900, after military service Alessandro Gallotti came to Milan to study at the Brera Academy, where he was introduced to Cesare Tallone by Michis himself. He is a guest in the Tallone house for a few months; therefore he had his own apartment, with a studio in via Oriani 8, where he remained until the end of 1910. In October 1910, marking the centenary of Argentine national independence, the "Exposicòn de Bellas Artes Italianas" was set up in Buenos Aires, in which A. Gallotti figures worthily as well as at the "Esposizione Internazionale di Roma" of 1914. The following year, at the "Permanente of Milan" he exhibits the painting "Il Cervino", a work that had already been noticed at the Venice Biennale of 1912. The many reviews obtained by the artist have, in 1920, a further writing by the Honorable Guido Marangoni, his admirer, who presents him in the catalog on the occasion of the personal exhibition held at the Galleria Vinciana. In 1942, a personal exhibition at the Bolzani Gallery was followed by a long period of secluded activity, without other important exhibitions. On 25 November 1961 Alessandro Gallotti passed away in Milan.
