Giancarlo Frisoni was born in Valliano, a small town in the Rimini hinterland on 19 June 1958. Although he had understood since childhood that art would be an integral part of his life, it is only from the early 1980s that he begins to make his work known and obtain the first consents and recognitions from the public and critics, participating in numerous national competitions of fiction, painting and poetry.

The photographic activity makes him a witness and lover of the peasant civilization from which he comes. The extensive documentation enriches the numerous published volumes, furnishes the Ethnographic Museum of Valliano with blow-ups. In 2012 "Faces of women, time and spirit of the peasant world" becomes a traveling exhibition at the request of national museums. Then he publishes the photographic book "Only who has been knows who he is" published by Aiep, and in 2014 he proposes the "Wonderful" exhibition sponsored by the Secretariat for Culture at the Filippi house, University and Studies of M. Giardino. In 2015 he represented the Republic of San Marino with the exhibition "Food in the hands" in the Expo events, on the theme of ancient nutrition. The photographer Livio Senigalliesi wrote of him "The wise use of his black and white excites and preserves all the strength of his land. According to the dictates of the best photography, it has the ability to grasp the expressions and voices of the soul! "

In the literary field, he begins a partnership with his professor of letters. From 1983 to 2009 they published 20 volumes that collect in depth and complete every characteristic of the peasant world.

Now his is a rich and safe painting, praised by audiences and renowned critics. " Nothing to say. There is certainly quality in his work ... .. "(Marco Goldin)" His material meditation has interested me very much ... " (Umberto Eco) "I am not an expert in painting but I have received emotions, and I believe that whoever is able to transfer emotions brings with him a great gift, and is worthy of being called an artist" (A visitor). His work, well integrated in solid structures, shows the ability to compose and distribute, the mastery of the sign, the control to change raw and scratchy shades in soft and delicate paths that give emotions.
