Biography

Scientific technical researches have led Donizetti to use innovative techniques for his works such as varnished and glazed egg-yolk tempera as well as his personal encausto and his "encaustic pastel".

In 1977 Donizetti founded the Centre for Research Techniques of Arts and in 2003 the "Donizetti School-Museum" online. [1] Donizetti also contributes to newspapers and magazines with essays on aesthetics and diagnosis of restoration.

In 1983 an anthological exhibition of his work was held in the halls of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.

Works

Donizetti's notable works include the "Crucifix" in The Treasury Museum of the Vatican Basilica; the frescos and the altar piece in the historical Basilica in Pontida; the portrait of Pope John Paul II (now part of the National Portrait Gallery (United States) collection in Washington, D.C.) and published on the covers of Time (magazine); "Commedia dell'Arte" in the "Spajani Raccolta" GAMEC in Bergamo; and "La Carità" in the "Margherita Cassis Faraone Collection".
