Amedeo Bocchi

At the age of 12 years, he was enrolled in the Royal Institute of Fine Arts of Parma, under the direction of Cecrope Barilli.

In 1901, at the age of 18 years he was graduated, and Barili prompted him to travel to Rome to the Scuola del Nudo on Via Ripetta.

He moved to Padua to work alongside Achille Casanova, in fresco decorations for the Basilica of Sant'Antonio.

He collaborated with the painters Latino Barilli, Daniele de Strobel, and Renato Brozzi, in the restorations of the Sala d’Oro of the Castello di Torrechiara near Parma.

In 1915, he found a place to work and live in Villa Strohl-Fern in Rome under the patronage of Alfred Strohl.
