Enrico Salfi

Like Domenico Morelli, Giuseppe Sciuti and Cesare Maccari, he had a predilection for "Pompeiian" or "Neo-Pompeiian" scenes.

He painted an altarpiece for the Church of Basilicata, depicting Saint Francis of Paola in Ecstasy.

[1] In Cosenza, he painted an Allegory of the Arts (1905) on the ceiling of the Teatro Massimo, which was destroyed during a bombardment in World War II.

In addition to his art, he published a small volume of poetry, titled Lirica Pompeiana and served in several official positions, including "Inspector of Monuments and Excavations" (1897-1903).

At the Sixth exhibition of Art and Artistry of Reggio Calabria in 1931, he depicted the anti-semitic image of the legendary Wandering Jew (“L’ebreo errante”).
