| Calegari Celso, son of Glicerio Celso,
was born in 1922, in Coenzo di Sorbolo (in the province of Parma), Italy.
He was a woodworker like his
father. Celso worked with his father until 1958. He started to do some
woodcarvings. Calegari, who was self-taught, improved his skills through
time. He presented his work in various exhibits,
and he
received
recognition
from several juries. Later, he continued to work with more passion.
In the beginning he did not sign his name on his artwork, so
he used a nickname: Caceco. Calegari Celso is a cousin of Maria
Abati
of Windsor. |
