Delmo Veronese was born on February 13, 1920 in Ospedaletto Euganeo. During the school period, he casually meets the sculptor Gino Vascon, later becoming his pupil and starting the journey that will lead him to be a well-known painter and artist. He has always been a traveller, first out of duty: the war took him to Libya, Tunisia, Greece, Germany. He then moved to Bologna where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts at Giorgio Morandi's school for engraving. In the same years he learned portraiture and fresco technique lessons from the Bolognese painter Amleto Montevecchi. Precisely thanks to his portraits he will be very successful and famous in various countries, and in particular, he will win a prestigious 1st prize, in London, for a portrait of Winston Churchill. He completed his training in Paris at the Ecole Italienne d'Art Appliqué directed by Gino Severini and his assistant painter Riccardo Licata. Just in Paris then, he approaches the study of Geology and begins to assiduously attend the Museums of Natural Sciences.His exhibitions arouse considerable interest, since in addition to the paintings he also begins to exhibit the mineralogical and paleontological finds that he himself collects during research in Germany, England, France, Switzerland and Italy. Precisely this passion for fossils led him to get to know the Bolca area and, subsequently, he received the coveted "Bolca, Stone Lagoon" award assigned to him by the AIAB (International Association of Friends of Bolca). Subsequently he resumed the study of the origins of the Euganean Hills; in Este he presents an artistic-scientific review of paintings inspired by them and their finds. The latter will be donated to the Province of Padua and kept in the Paleontological Museum of Cava Bomba in Cinto Euganeo. He died in May 2001, expressing, a few months earlier, his "immense regret at having been abandoned by the desire to paint".
