Alessandro Scorzoni

[1] Born to a family of limited resources, he studied under Antonio Puccinelli and Salvatore Muzzi at the Bolognese Academy of Fine Arts.

He also painted a fresco of "San Martino distributes charity to poor" for the Castello dei Manzoli (Castello di San Martino in Soverzano), located near Minerbio, where he participated in the restoration works by Tito Azzolini and Alfonso Rubbiani.

Other major works are frescoes for palazzo Malvezzi and the oratory of San Michele in Bosco.

His landscapes depict views surrounding Bologna, including San Ruffillo, il Savena, and l'Idice.

From 1895 al 1906, Scorzoni displayed works at the exhibitions of the "Francesco Francia" Art Association.
