Piero Slongo (Mogliano Veneto 07/11/1928 - Treviso 25/12/2015) begins in the late 50's with many collective exibitions in Treviso area and Venice. It were fundamental the experiences at 49. Bevilacqua La Masa and Burano Prize won in the editions of 1969 and ‘70. His training is self-taught and he acquired in the field in various art exhibitions with artists such as Carena, Viani, Coubert, Kokoschka for example.
