Lucio Sollazzi was born in 1925 in Pavia, Italy, and studied with the artist Borgognoni, attending the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera  in Milan.

Sollazzi devoted his early years to technical studies, business activities, sports and his major hobby, painting. 

Sollazzi's painting follows varied influences, from the great British Romantics to the 17th century Dutch landscape painters, and from Lombard Romanticism to the Venetian landscapists.

Lucio Sollazzi is now based in Monte Carlo, where he has retired. 

​

The Mediterranean and Venetian coastlines provided him with much of the inspiration for his contemporary work. Sollazzi calls himself an optimistic painter and always wants his paintings to reflect his own happiness.
