"Pere" Tanguy of Contemporary American Fresco
|
Massimo Zecchi paid shipping charges by the ton to have my fresco materials sent overseas, says iLia Annosov, founder of the Nationwide Fresco Painting Workshop Program, presently The Fresco School, located in Los Angeles California. The Fresco School is greatly possible due to the support of Massimo Zecchi. iLia continues, The United States does not have fresco materials available domestically. I wanted the best tools and with Zecchi help, I could afford to import the needed materials into the states. I could concentrate, thanks to Zecchi, on teaching and popularizing true fresco! Zecchi sent the orders first and allowed the fledgling Fresco School to pay later. Since those first gratis shipments in 1997, the Fresco School has grown to become the only year-round school of its kind and has taught hundreds of students from around the world the ancient technique of fresco art.
