Lino Mannocci  Lino Mannocci (born 1945) is an Italian painter. He was born in Viareggio, Italy, and moved to London in 1968. Between 1971 and 1976 he studied at Camberwell College of Arts and as a postgraduate at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Since 1976 Mannocci has returned annually to a little Italian hamlet in the hills between Lucca and Viareggio. In the early 1980s he was a co-founder of the movement La Metacosa and was closely involved in all the group's exhibitions and activities. His first Museum exhibition was in 1984 at the 'Hack-Museum' in Ludwigshafen, Germany. In 1988 Yale University Press published Mannocci's Catalogue raisonne of the graphic works of Claude Lorrain. During the 1990s he exhibited his work in San Francisco, New York, London, Milan, Florence and Bergamo. In 2004 his recent paintings were included in the exhibition curated by Philippe Daverio at the Spazio Oberdan in Milan called "Fenomenologia della Metacosa – 7 artisti nel 1979 a Milano e 25 anni dopo", and in 2005 he had a one-person show entitled "Let there be smoke" at the Museo H. Christian Andersen in Rome. In 2006 Mannocci exhibited in Delhi and Mumbai in India, and in 2007 he curated an exhibition at the Galleria Ceribelli in Bergamo called "Gli amici pittori di Londra", a homage to painting and friendship. On the occasion of his exhibition in 2010 of monotypes at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, "Clouds and Myths", Mannocci curated an exhibition on the theme of the Annunciation, "The Angel and the Virgin: A Brief History of the Annunciation". The Cartiere Vannucci in Milan exhibited his paintings in 2012. In October, he exhibited his work in New York at Jill Newhouse Gallery. He had an exhibition at Galleria San Fedele in Milan, "E l’angelo partì da lei", in 2014. In the following year, 2015, he presented a solo exhibition of recent works at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Palazzo Pitti in Florence. In May, an invitation to commemorate the 800th centenary of the Magna Carta at Temple Church, London, resulted in a show of monotypes on parchment.
