| Gino Boccasile |
| Gino Boccasile was born in Bari, Italy, in 1901, son of a perfumer. Early in his youth he lost his left eye when a drop of quicklime fell in it while he drank from a fountain. Nonetheless, he showed a precocious aptitude for design and completed studies at the fine art school of his hometown. After the death of his father in 1925, he moved to Milan in order not to be a burden on his family. Despite some initial difficulties, he eventually gained a post at the Mauzan-Morzenti Agency. Over the next few years he produced posters and illustrated fashion magazines and gained fame for his sensual renderings of the female form. |
