He saw photographs of works by Metardo Rosso, a well-known impressionist sculptor, and was impressed by his work, their themes of everyday life, and the effects of light on the surface of his works.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113525\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113525\" src=\"https:\/\/egidimadeinitaly.com\/ecomsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Arturo-Martini-scaled-e1675764802368-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Arturo Martini\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/egidimadeinitaly.com\/v25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Arturo-Martini-scaled-e1675764802368-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/egidimadeinitaly.com\/v25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Arturo-Martini-scaled-e1675764802368-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/egidimadeinitaly.com\/v25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Arturo-Martini-scaled-e1675764802368.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-113525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arturo Martini<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Martini exhibited at the first exhibition of Ca&#8217; Pesaro in Venice.<\/p>\n<p>The organizer, Nino Barbantini, an art critic from Ferrara, was quite daring.
