NICOLA SIMBARI

The story of Nicola Simbari is now legendary. Simbari was born in San Lucido, a small village situated in Calabria, Italy. He was raised in Rome where his father, an architect, worked for the Vatican. The Sistine Chapel and other art treasures of the city influenced Simbari. He attended the Academia delle Belli Art, where he studied architecture. The influence of geometric forms made an indelible impression on him and, to this day, has played an important part in his work.
