Biography
Roberto Romei Rotondo was born in Milan, Italy,
obtained a Masters of Arts at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada,
and was a pupil of famous painter Guido Molinari.
Roberto exhibited extensively, most recently at Palazzo Delle Esposizioni, Roma, Italy, and the 3818 Cool Gallery in Beijing, China.
He enjoys an international reputation; his works hang in dozens of corporations:

Fonex Data Systems Canada, Assicurazioni La Fondaria Italy, Michelin France, to name but a few.
When not in Montreal he spends much of his time in Tuscany
where his studio has become a place of pilgrimage for art aficionados and wine lovers alike
