Biography


La Naia was born in Adrano, in Sicily to a family of limited means living off farming. As a young man, he was encouraged to pursue painting by Nicolò Lauricella and Giuseppe Guzzardi. He was a pupil for a time under Guzzardi, and at a local school of art. He moved to Florence. There he was to live with two orphan sisters; one of them, Emilia Bellati, would inspire many of his works. He would marry her only on 14 June 1968, two days before his death.
He was made instructor of design at the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze of Florence. During his productive career, he pursued both painting, sculpture and architecture. Among his works are:
