Aldo Mondino (1938–2005) was born in Turin. In 1959, he moved to Paris, where he studied at William Heyter’s atelier, the École du Louvre, and took mosaic courses at the Academy of Fine Arts with Severini and Licata.
Returning to Italy in 1960, he began exhibiting at Galleria L’Immagine in Turin (1961) and Galleria Alfa in Venice (1962). His collaboration with Gian Enzo Sperone, director of Galleria Il Punto, was crucial to his career. He later held solo exhibitions at Galleria Stein (Turin), Studio Marconi (Milan), Galleria La Salita (Rome), and Galleria Paludetto (Turin).
Mondino participated in the Venice Biennale twice (1976, 1993) and had major exhibitions at the Museum für Moderne Kunst – Palais Liechtenstein in Vienna (1991), the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul (1992, 1996), the Jewish Museum in Bologna (1995), and the Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna in Trento (2000).
His works are part of prestigious museum collections worldwide and numerous private collections.
