PINO FURLAN
(1920-1987)Born in Ronchi, then in the province of Trieste, into a family of rural tradition and craft mentality, from an early age he felt the tragic echoes of the war, starting with his father’s experience. “I grew up wild” he wrote about himself, perfectly defining the root of the introverted, shy and sensitive character constantly remarked during his life by family, friends, critics. As a leftist, in the years of the “construction of socialism” in Yugoslavia he emigrated to Fiume in the wake of the so-called “Monfalconesi”. When he returned to Ronchi he was hired by the Monfalcone Shipyard, initially as a worker and then as an assistant to the painters. For the rest of his life his deep passion for painting was not an end in itself but was made available to the local society in its moments of deep crisis, in the belief that the world could change and that everyone should give a hand.
