Nespolo, also known for his experimental movies, his applied arts works and his artistic collaborations in advertising, theater and literature, was born on August 29, 1941.
 
According to Wikipedia, he graduated at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti of Turin under Enrico Paulucci and obtained a degree in Modern Literature at the University of Turin, with a thesis on Semiology.

His career as an artist started in the 1960s and his work was influenced by Pop Art, which was becoming popular in Italy in those years, conceptual art, Arte Povera and Fluxus, movements that he learned to appreciate during his frequent trips to the United States. Irony and transgression were part of his art and they continued to characterize his work in the years to come.

He has done about twenty films over forty years and his work has been presented or hosted in major national and international exhibitions, covering his whole production.
