BIOGRAPHY:
Raimondo Roberti was born on May 31st, 1947 in Naples, Italy. The son of an artist, Roberti grew up painting. His father began to teach him how to paint with oils at the age of seven. Members of his family, who were high military officers of the Royal Fleet, strongly influenced Roberti and his lifelong attraction to all things pertaining to the sea. His family's isolated villa was very near the grounds of G. Gigante. Gigante was one of the foremost exponents of Neopolitan classical painting, a painting style known as the School of Posillipo, an artistic style that Roberti would study later in life. By the time Roberti finished high school he had exhibited his paintings in local galleries. Roberti attended an art academy after finishing high school to polish his self taught style. As soon as he achieved the academic credentials, he moved to the United States where he held exhibitions in several art galleries. When he moved back to Italy, Roberti carried out serious works of research about the building structures and the most hidden views of Venice. He continues to travel to the United States, but keeps his home in Europe. Roberti's paintings reflect the traditions of Italian art. Roberti is best known for his port scenes, the Italian coastline, and his classic scenes of Venice Italy. Roberti is able to offer the world exacting impressions of the vibrant life of a port city or the quiet elegance, romanticism and rugged terrain that embraces the Mediterranean.
