Ferdinando Ambrosino's painting is steeped in the fantastical plots, the intricate routes of the history of Italian twentieth-century art, able to link tradition to the new, wisdom to knowledge...

Ferdinando Ambrosino lives in Cuma, near the water. The Phlegraean Fields, with those reds, yellows and blues, are now visible to us from high above, as if from a plane, now unearthed and accessible to us, and they invite us to enter.
