(Messina, 9 February 1908 – Milan, 28 February 1997). In 1937 he was among the founders of the "Corrente" movement which brought together artists from different cultural horizons, with the common intention of opening up to modern European culture, rejecting isolation cultural imposed by fascist politics. Over time, artists with very different visions of art flocked to "Corrente", initially united to reject outdated pictorial canons, who then took different paths, such as Badodi, Birolli, Broggini, Cassinari, Cherchi, Gauli, Guttuso, Manzù, Morlotti, Paganin, Sassu, Valenti, and Vedova. After the war Migneco refined his taste for "social realism" under the influence of Mexican wall painters. In 1958 he participated in the XXIX Venice Art Biennale. His always strong and lively colors that recall his Sicily with violent and clear features, the hard and courageous faces make his canvases an expression of the existential struggle, in the continuous and profound confrontation with humanity and with the events that besiege it, in the consciousness and in the hope of freedom and memory, beyond the absurd solitude of existence. Migneco passed away in Milan on 28 February 1997.
