    • Synopsis
    • Toni, the son of an emigrant Italian mother, deported back to Italy from Switzerland where he spent his
      childhood, lived for years in a shack by the river without ever succumbing to loneliness, the cold or hunger.
      Meeting the sculptor Renato Marino Mazzacurati was his chance to return to painting, the beginning of a
      redemption story in which he feels art is the only way to form his identity, a real opportunity to make his
      name known and loved by the world. “El Tudesc,” as people called him, was a lonely, scrawny, ugly and often mocked and humiliated man. He became an imaginative artist who painted a fantasy world of tigers, gorillas and jaguars on the banks of the Po. Ligabue’s art is a “fairy tale” from which a wealth of diversity emerges and his work over time has proved to be a gift to collective humanity.
