Overview

From the tranquility of early childhood amid the Alps of northern Italy, through the chaos of World War II and the uncertainty of post-war Europe, the first seasons of Carla Carli Mazzucato's life were marked by both beauty and personal tragedy. With the death of her father when she was twelve, and an adolescence spent with her grandfather away from home, she put her dreams aside to help support her family. But her restless heart and the hope instilled in her by her father years before, reawakened her yearning for something more in her life. As a young immigrant to the United States in 1962, she married, started a family and began a journey that would see her rise to prominence in the contemporary art world and travel two continents with her work. The canvas onto which she painted her life gave voice to a lifetime of experiences and influences that shaped her vision of the better world she hoped to create. ___ Here is the story of her journey, from youth, through adversity and to professional and personal fulfillment. It is a story of innocence splintered by war, of searching for purpose and opportunity, of unfailing optimism and enduring hope.
