Jacopo Naccarato, Arezzo 1995, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, painting section, in 2021 at Prof. Caccioni's chair and in 2017 at Prof. Bertolo's chair. Before obtaining his three-year degree, in 2017, he spent a period of study in Bucharest, Romania, where he came into contact with contemporary East-European art that would manipulate part of his research.

​

After receiving his master's degree, he became assistant to the Tuscan artist Giulia Cenci on the occasion of her participation in the Venice Biennale. In the same period, having returned to Arezzo, he decided to open an independent space. “Sottofondo studio” was born together with two fellow citizens (Bernardo Tirabosco & Elena Castiglia) to stimulate the city environment to contemporary art with the desire to involve artists and friends in an attempt to activate a provincial reality. He currently lives and works in Arezzo.
