A painter who knew how to represent the pure identity of his land through nuanced brushstrokes, Lorenzo Albino was a faithful guardian of the memory of the Calabrian people and a devoted son of his Tropea.
With his works he transmitted the most authentic traditions of Calabria, narrating the stories rural and intimate of peasant culture, sincere and nostalgic works in contrast with a society tending towards uncontrollable technological development.
Called "the poet of the earth", the "faithful guardian of the peasants of the South", the «portraitist of the poor», Albino, thanks to his artistic production, translated into images the memories, everyday life and breath of his warm Calabria.
