"Renato Meneghetti (b. 1947, Rosà, Vicenza) is an Italian painter, designer, and multimedia artist whose career spans painting, architecture, music, theater, cinema, and performance. Trained in architecture and design under Carlo Scarpa yet largely self-taught as a painter, he began with experimental works in the 1960s—such as the “Fagocitatrice” series—before gaining international recognition for his evocative “radiographs,” X-ray-based paintings exploring inner life and existential themes. His design creations, from furniture and fashion to ski boots and jewelry, merge functionality with sculptural aesthetics, some entering permanent collections like Madrid’s Museum of Modern Art. Meneghetti’s multimedia projects have appeared at the Venice Biennale and other global venues, while solo exhibitions in Rome, Paris, London, Malta, and Bratislava affirm his status as a homo universale whose art fuses technology, sensuality, and philosophical inquiry." // **Somewhat heavy item.
