Luigi Meregalli was born in Carate Brianza (Milan). He has got a natural vocation for the artistic field and in the seventies he attends the Libera Accademia of the Teacher Mariano Missaglia from Padova, where he studies drawing and painting in detail. In those years, he moves to Riva del Garda (Trent) and he’s deeply fascinated by the beauty of these places (this is evident in the paintings of that period). In 1976 he meets Aroldo Pignattari and he becomes a member of the Gruppo Amici dell’Arte (Group of Art’s Friends). In the eighties, he obtains the first acknowledgements from critics, confirmed by recommendations and prizes in regional competitions and exhibitions. In that period he learns the difficult discipline of watercolouring and he enters into the most rare recesses of this technique by realizing “splendid communicative paintings and intangible atmospheres” (Paolo Levi, Immagine e Struttura). In the nineties, he develops his artistic itinerary by alternating personal and collective exhibitions of great importance in Italian and foreign cities, such as Vicenza, Udine, Florence, Rome, Venice, Bologna, Milan, Bensheim, Burghausen. In 2002 the commune of Arco (Trent) organises a personal exhibition of great relevance at the Palazzo dei Panni : “The weaving of a precious lace”. He has recently extended his pictorial experience with the realisation of great paintings about holy subjects (two of them are in the parish church of Varone di Riva del Garda). He holds courses in watercolour technique for some artistic and cultural associations. He’s member of the A.I.A. (Italian watercolourists’ association). His paintings are in private and public collections. He lives and works in Riva del Garda (Trent), via Varoncello 33 and he has got a studio in Venice, calle Rovereto 5.
