"Born in Feltre (Italy) in 1949, Viola currently works in Venice, he has taught Painting at the Brera Academy in Milan and at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts. His background is in classical studies and a laurea magistralis in Literature and Art from Padua University.
He is the co-founder and editor of several art reviews e.g. "Informazione Arti Visive" in Venice, "Creativa" in Genoa, "Artivisive" in Rome, and "Qnst", also in Venice. He was a pioneer of videoart in Italy.
In the early 1970s he used the avaliable media that was offered by the conceptual explosion of those years (visual writing, photography, video, live performances) winning wide international acclaim for his personal lyrical narrative interpretation.
But by the mid-1970s, he turned his attention back to painting. His paintings, however, are influenced by the artistís previous experiences." (Source : Database REWIND Italia).
