Italo Giordani moved to Naples to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, later he studied first in Venice and then, from 1908 to 1909, then in Milan, with Cesare Cesare Tallone as Master, immediately finding success in France in 1917, and then with his exhibitions in Paris. He reaches Lake Como and the locality of Lierna as a guest of some families of the European nobility on holiday, and will devote himself to the outdoor painting of landscapes and glimpses. But he also painted views of Venice, Martigues and Cannes, Amalfi and Posillipo, places intoxicated with light, and as he himself says sung by poets, and visited by him in happy moments.
He painted above all landscapes, with a predilection for the lakes of Como often inserted in countryside scenes. His artworks are characterized by polychromy and brightness.
