Guglielmo Botter

Guglielmo Botter is an Italian American artist, born in Treviso, Italy in 1966. He had a youthful vocation for drawing. By the time he was 6 years old Guglielmo was among the finalist in a local art competition and, at the age of 13, he won a national contest for children to design a stamp based on their hometown: Treviso was pictured in an Italian Stamp for the first time in 1980. Guglielmo officially turned his talented visual eye to architecture when he earned a degree from Venice's IUAV University. Since three years ago, due to the economic crisis in Italy, he decided to come back to the U.S. where his mother, also a painter, lived in the 50s and 60s. In Pittsburgh, PA he found the right place to continue his carrier in art. His recent drawings of the Steel City reveal how Guglielmo combines an Italian aesthetic background with a family history rooted in the U.S. to envision the American urban landscape.
