Gruppo Labronico
The Gruppo Labronico is an Italian artistic association founded in Livorno in 1920.[1]
History
[edit]The Labronico group of artists is rooted in the heyday of the Caffè Bardi.[1] After the Caffè closed and the death of Mario Puccini, the Gruppo Labronico was founded in Gino Romiti's studio on July 15, 1920.[2] Among the other founders of the Gruppo Labronico were: Gino Romiti, Adriano Baracchini-Caputi, Tito Cavagnaro, Gino Cipriani, Goffredo Cognetti, Beppe Guzzi, Giovanni March, Corrado Michelozzi, Renato Natali, Gastone Razzaguta, Renuccio Renucci, Carlo Romanelli, Ferruccio Rontini, Cesare Tarrini, Alberto Zampieri and Giovanni Zannacchini.[1]
Gino Romiti was president of the group from 1946 until its closing.[2] Mario Borgiotti joined the group in 1947 and became its President in 1967.[citation needed]
In May 2014, the Gruppo Labronico donated its historical archives (1920-1932) to the city of Livorno. The inventory of the archives is available at the Museo Civico "Giovanni Fattori".[3] In 2020, the group celebrated one hundred years of existence.[4]
