Giuseppe Migneco

His father was a train station master and his mother was a school teacher.

At the age of 23, he moved to Milan to enroll in the International Medical School, University of Milan, but started gravitating around the local art scene, where he met Renato Birolli, Raffaele De Grada, Beniamino Joppolo and Aligi Sassu.

Migneco eventually landed a job as an illustrator for the weekly magazine for children Corriere dei Piccoli.

After the end of World War II, Migneco was able to reprise his artistic career when he had an exhibition at the Galleria Santa Redegonda in Milan in 1945.

In 1983, his work was the subject of a large retrospective at the Palazzo Comunale in his native Messina.
