He founded the Societ\u00e0 Promotrice di Belle Arti in 1849, contributing to the spread of the Grey School.<\/p>\n
Influenced by artists such as Alexandre Calame and Antonio Fontanesi, he promoted the teaching of en plein air painting, although he encountered resistance from more conservative figures such as Giuseppe Isola. Luxoro later became director of the Scuola di paesaggio dal vero (School of Landscape from Life) and also devoted himself to the protection and restoration of Genoese historical monuments, engaging in polemics for the preservation of the city’s heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
