<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 240416, member: 2844&quot;]Good work!</p><p>Except the label says Gianfranco Zanini and states that the signature - &#039;firma&#039; in Italian - is G F Zanini, which stands for Gianfranco Zanini.</p><p>I can&#039;t find Gianfranco through any search engine my search program uses. But he himself gives some information on the label, which is from his own studio, which could have a gallery with it. He was born in Asmara, Eritrea (used to be Italian) in 1944. This was painted in 2002, so he could still be alive. The catalogue number is 292.</p><p>Maybe he is Gigiotti (Luigi) Zanini&#039;s son. But Gianfranco was born in Eritrea, and it doesn&#039;t say in Gigiotti Zanini&#039;s Wiki page that he ever lived in Eritrea. He only seems to have lived in Milan after he moved there from South Tyrol: <a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigiotti_Zanini" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigiotti_Zanini" rel="nofollow">https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigiotti_Zanini</a></p><p>The studio stamp on the label says Gianfranco&#039;s studio is in Milan as well, which could mean the water&#039;s edge in the painting is in the plain of the Po river.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming he is still alive, you could look him up in the Milan phonebook, and ask him about the painting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
