Aleandro Roncarà

Aleandro Roncarà was born in Orbetello in 1967.

But this is only the last part of the story. First there was a family of restaurateurs in Orbetello, professional basketball, a graphic design studio, a whole life in Montecatini... the aforementioned restaurant which became his 'private gallery'.

The passion for drawing never leaves him: on diaries, walls, hospital casts and billions of sheets of paper.  Finally, the paintings with his characters, all inside his world. Mondorondo, in fact.

Where Centòmini, Mister Phil, Dixie, Rebblu, Squalogatto move, a fanciful world devoid of violence.

This extravagantly mythological land was born from the songs of the Seventies, to the tune of Loi and Altomare, Drupi, Rino Gaetano; it is nourished by the exploits of legendary figures, those who flavour the stories and nights of all the cities, all the bars, all the companies.

The characters that animate Mondorondo (the pleasant planet without a vocabulary!) live, breathe, are immersed, are themselves pure colour, direct, iconic, simple in the way they amuse and cheer by appearing.

Roncarà outlines his figures with marked black outlines, which outline the figures and all the elements of this fantastic world; they derive from dreams and ideas, from the refrains of songs sung at dawn, after staying up late at the bar downstairs.

In recent years he has encountered the world of sculpture, transporting those funny characters out of Mondorondo to bring joy into the homes of his collectors.

He collaborates with important fashion, accessories, design and furnishing companies.

He draws, bakes cakes and paints in his one and only "eternal" city, Montecatini Terme.
