This study shows and documents for the first time the training and the activity of Pietro Maria Ivaldi (1810-1885), fresco painter. He worked a lot in Liguria, Piemonte, Lombardia and in the South of France. He studied at the Accademia Albertina in Tourin when it was directed by G.B. Biscarra; he has completed his training in Rome Florence and Venice, looking at the Camuccini’s, Benvenuti’s, Thordwaldsen’s and Canova’s works. From those artists he learns important matters to create his own style. In his apprentice years he looks at the great Italian Renaissance art, learning from it the possibility of using it to teach to the rural population that artistic language. His style is based on a language between neoclassic and romantic culture, and he is next to the Nazareni group met through the painter Thordwaldsen. Another peculiar element of his art is the use of LIS (language of deaf-mute people)- it’s a kind of communication medium mainly important for him, deaf-mute since he was born-, that is well explained/exposed in his paintings. He expands the communicative appearances in his works, connecting his art to the popular art forms that have given to the gesture the task of making understand to the easiest people, the themes of religion.

Abstract
This study shows and documents for the first time the training and the activity of Pietro Maria Ivaldi (1810-1885), fresco painter. He worked a lot in Liguria, Piemonte, Lombardia and in the South of France. He studied at the Accademia Albertina in Tourin when it was directed by G.B. Biscarra; he has completed his training in Rome Florence and Venice, looking at the Camuccini’s, Benvenuti’s, Thordwaldsen’s and Canova’s works. From those artists he learns important matters to create his own style. In his apprentice years he looks at the great Italian Renaissance art, learning from it the possibility of using it to teach to the rural population that artistic language. His style is based on a language between neoclassic and romantic culture, and he is next to the Nazareni group met through the painter Thordwaldsen. Another peculiar element of his art is the use of LIS (language of deaf-mute people)- it’s a kind of communication medium mainly important for him, deaf-mute since he was born-, that is well explained/exposed in his paintings. He expands the communicative appearances in his works, connecting his art to the popular art forms that have given to the gesture the task of making understand to the easiest people, the themes of religion.
