Mariano Pajetta Biography
Mariano Pajetta (Treviso, 1851 - Verona, 1923) was a self-taught painter, who followed the example of his father Paolo, also a landscape painter, and his brother Pietro. Starting from the 1980s, he began to exhibit his works in various Italian cities, including Florence (1883, “In the pasture”), Milan (1883, “In pose”, “Country life”), Rome (1883, “ At the watering hole”) and Turin (1884, “The village stove”). For a certain period he moved to Genoa, where he worked as a decorator, without abandoning easel painting. Subsequently, Pajetta returned to the Veneto and settled in Venice and then, from the 1910s, in Verona. Here he dedicated his art to painting applied to photography, collaborating with the Moro studios in Venice and Bressanini studios in Verona.
