Milano Vola Alto: preparatory sketch of the work "Milano il futuro è qui" for sale by Lombard artist Carlo Massimo Franchi, a tribute to Milan and its nostalgia for the future. The work unfolds vertically, recreating the idea of a stellar gateway: at the end of an impassable path we can see the Torre Pelli, a symbol of the combination of modernity and tradition typical of the Lombard capital. The skyscraper almost looks like a spaceship ready to take off, as it is the same title of the work, shown at the bottom, that sanctions the launch point.
The Milano Vola Alto collection was exhibited at the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia in 2015.
The work is signed by the artist at the bottom and is framed.
1961 Pavia, Italy
Carlo Massimo Franchi (Pavia 1961) graduated at Brera Accademy, where he knew his Master Salvatore Fiume. His early works are strongly influenced by Fiume. The series called Mediterranean women is the best example: sensual women with soft curves, in Oriental atmospheres.
During the later period his style changes in a painting characterized by bright and flat colours. He realizes many works on commission and the series of Kaleidos, in which Cubist influences and the refined line of classical Greek art are mixed up.
He exhibits his works in many Italian and foreign cities (Milan, Turin, Palermo... San Francisco, Los ANgeles, Las Vegas...).
Now he lived and works in Novara.
