Original, award-winning painting by acclaimed Italian artist Claudio Martinesi

“Figlio del padre (his father’s son)” is an original painting by an important artist. The painting has been described as a poignant reminder to support our parents in their time of need. The artist Claudio Martinesi has been described as an “expert on the human soul, a sensitive and attentive scholar of the psyche as a forge of torment, emotions, memories, and existential anxieties. His paintings are open and colorful pages depicting what he encounters, discovers, and analyzes along his journey as a man.”

Fifty percent of the proceeds will benefit the future of LTU students through scholarship support. The remaining fifty percent will support the peace mission of Rotary International.
