Biography
Miraldo Sponza was born of Istrian parents at Rovigno d’Istria (Pola).
Very soon, however, he left his birthplace to travel, animated by a desire to know, to meet people and to undergo new experiences.
After various wanderings he arrived in Sicily where he finally found a climate and an atmosphere in agreement with his character.
“I found in Sicily – the artist tells us- the proper harmony to express my artistic personality.
Fascinated by the blue sky and white-hot sun of that country, I began a meticulous work of selftaugt research . Not happy with my first results I enrolled at an art school in Catania
where I had the opportunity of meeting the invaluable maestro Mario Del Vesco, who was
in a manner of speaking, my firts real teacher.”
