Biography[edit]
Patrizia Taddei was born in 1948 in Montescudo, a commune in the Italian province of Rimini.[1][2] As a teenager, she attended an arts high school in Ancona.[3] Then, beginning in 1969, she studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino.[3][4] She eventually settled in the microstate of San Marino, where she lives and works in Faetano.[1][3]
During her time at the Accademia di Belle Arti she became interested in the conceptual art movement, as well as Arte Povera.[3][5][6] Between 1973 and 1974 (she produced a series of conceptual works, some of which were recorded through photographs, while others are only recorded in the memories of the artist and attendees.[4][7] Subjects explored in this series included San Marino's unique experience as a microstate.[6]
In addition to these conceptual works, Taddei has primarily produced works of painting and sculpture.[3][8] In the 1980s, she shifted to work that explores alchemy and astrology.[3] Her work has also drawn on imagery from religion, mythology, and fairy tale.[9][10]
Alongside Marina Busignani Reffi, Walter Gasperoni, and Gilberto Giovagnoli, she is one of the San Marino artists whose work is represented in the San Marino National Gallery.[4][6][7][11] The museum's permanent collection prominently features her 1973 conceptual work Andare via.[4][5][6] Her work has also represented San Marino at the Venice Biennale on multiple occasions, most recently in 2017.[9][10][12][13]
