Giovanni di Carpegna Falconieri was born in Rome in 1966 and began painting as a child when, in the town of Carpegna, he observed painters portraying the surrounding countryside from life. From these meetings was born his passion for plein air painting which he still practices today. He loves to experiment with various techniques, ranging from painting, sculpture, photography and illustration. Since 1997 he has been practicing etching and intaglio printing. He founded the Artisti della Carpegna Association, which has been organizing exhibitions since 1998 in the Palazzo dei Principi in Carpegna. In 2003 the Pius II National Committee entrusted him with the task of making an engraving dedicated to Pope Piccolomini.
The artist was recently commissioned to create a large oil on canvas for the Chapel of Sant’Andrea in Ponte Milvio in Rome, supported by the SS. Brotherhood of the Trinity of Pilgrims. The Chapel, built by Pius II Piccolomini in 1462 for the arrival of the head of Saint Andrew, houses, in the small adjoining cemetery, a valuable statue of the apostle by Paolo Romano. The work will illustrate the solemn procession that welcomed the relic to Rome. In September 2005 Carpegna took part in the engravings exhibition, curated by Arianna Antoniutti, La Librerìa Piccolomini through engravings. A contemporary rereading of the stories of Pius II, organized by the Pius II Committee at the Monumental Complex of San Salvatore in Lauro in Rome.
