Giorgio Matteo Aicardi (1891- 1984) Italian painter born in Finalborgo, Savona. He studied the Old Masters in Rome and Florence, completing his refinement in London, Paris and Madrid. He was commissioned to paint new frescos in palaces and churches, and restore existing frescos by Old Masters from fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Giorgio Matteo Aicardi Also had great success painting portraits at his studio and was commissioned to paint a number of advertising posters. He was part of classic, post impressionist and modernist movements.
