          Antonio Ligabue

          Italian painter (1899–1965)

          Antonio Ligabue (18 December 1899 – 27 May 1965; born Antonio Laccabue) was an Italian painter.

          He was one of the most important Naïve artists of the 20th century.

          Biography

          He was born in Zürich, Switzerland on 18 December 1899,[1] to Elisabetta Costa, a native from Cencenighe Agordino, and supposedly to Bonfiglio Laccabue (the true identity of the father is still unknown), native from Reggio Emilia.

          His mother, Elisabetta, and three brothers died in 1913 as a result of food poisoning.

          In 1942 the painter changed his surname from Laccabue to Ligabue, presumably because of the hate towards his father, whom he considered guilty of the uxoricide of his mother.

          Antonio Ligabue was born on December 18, , in Zurich, Switzerland: his mother was Elisabetta Costa, an emigrant from the village of Cencenighe Agordino.

          In September 1900 he was entrusted to the Swiss Johannes Valentin Göbel and Elise Hanselmann. He began to work occasionally as a farm hand and conducted a wandering life. After an altercation with his foster mother, he was hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic
