“I lived in a town where practically everyone was an artist. And if they weren’t an artist themselves, a brother or mother or somebody else in the family was. I lived in Florence and grew up being surrounded by art”

“If you are in Florence , how could you not be inspired? You are surrounded by art everywhere.” |
From its earliest origins which records it as being during the Roman era, Florence, Italy has been a city of culture and art. Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Raffello, and other great artists are synonymous with Florence and the perpetuation of classical art. The tradition continues today and as Jesse DeMolli says he had little choice but to become involved with art. Jesse grew to become a noted artist of significant reputation painting public murals and private contracts alike. |
