Giuseppe Sciuti

[1] By the age of 18, he was hoping to travel to either Florence or Rome to study, but an eruption of Etna destroyed his father's farms, and left his family impoverished.

He goes on further to paint You mothers of the country; The prisoners after the capitulation of Castelnuovo; and An episode during the sack of Catania, exhibited at the Mostra annuale della Società Promotrice of Naples.

[4] In 1890, he painted a number of historical scenes including the Episodio della spedizione di Pisacane a Sapri, for the Palazzo degli Elefanti in Catania.

He painted a peculiar altarpiece depicting a Vision of the Madonna dei Bambini before contemporary children for Sant'Agata la Vetere in Catania.

In 1902–1905, Sciuti painted the ceilings of seven rooms in the Palazzo Calanna of Acireale, including a large fresco depicting the Battle of Aquilio.

This work depicted Orchestra degli Angeli, Choir of Virgins, Glory of the Angels carrying the symbols of Santa Venera, an Annunciation, Faith, and Holy Father and Prophets.
