Angelo La Naia

Angelo La Naia (November 14, 1884 – 16 June 1968) was an Italian painter.

La Naia was born in Adrano, in Sicily to a family of limited means living off farming.

As a young man, he was encouraged to pursue painting by Nicolò Lauricella and Giuseppe Guzzardi.

There he was to live with two orphan sisters; one of them, Emilia Bellati, would inspire many of his works.

He was made instructor of design at the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze of Florence.
