Attilio Scarpa

Attilio Scarpa

Attilio Scarpa was born in Marradi (Florence). In 1989, he began working in the farming community of San Salvi Psychiatric Hospital. As the farming project drew to completion, he joined La Tinaia in hopes of furthering his creative output. Upon arrival at LA Tinaia, Scarpa kept to himself and did not gain the courage to explore the grounds for sometime. After growing comfortable in his surroundings, Scarpa began roaming the halls, copying the posters on the walls, and sketching the other patients. Today, Scarpa has ventured away from La Tinaia and has taken a break from painting.
