Norberto Proietti, better known only as Norberto, was a painter and sculptor originally from Spello, a city that greatly influenced his pictorial training, inspired by the Giottesque frescoes of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. After working for years in the family tailor's shop in Rome, from 1961 Norberto decided to devote himself exclusively to art, becoming one of the most famous naive artists, known for his miniature friars against the backdrop of medieval landscapes, immersed in the countryside or in the towns. Umbrian or Roman, often in the middle of wheat fields. In the field of sculpture, he is known for the works made by modeling olive wood and for the Peace Pilgrim, placed in front of the upper Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, dedicated to the patron saint of Italy. The work is presented in a frame.
