Francesco Salghetti-Drioli

Author: Ivo Petricioli
Year of publication: 2003
Publishing house: National Museum in Zadar and Institute of Art History in Zagreb,

The National Museum in Zadar and the Institute of Art History in Zagreb have published a monograph dedicated to the Zadar artist Francesco Salghetti-Drioli, presented for the first time in Italy, in Udine in May 2005. The work was conceived and edited by Ivo Petricioli and contains an essay by Silvia Meloni Trkulja, the painter's autobiography, the bibliography by Viatka Staglicic, the catalogue of works with the cards by Radoslav Tomic and the photo album of some of Salghetti's artistic works. The artist, as well as an entrepreneur, was in fact the firstborn of the family that founded the renowned “rosolio maraschino” factory in Zadar. During his life he painted many paintings, with different subjects, but his works were ignored for many years. He devoted himself to the creation of paintings with religious themes, drawings with essential lines and preparatory drawings for various paintings, portraits and self-portraits, drawings of Morlach and family costumes and some allegorical paintings; many of which are depicted in this work.
