Davide Mancini Zanchi (Urbino, 1986)

In the early 2000s he attended art school, but it was from 2004 that he focused on making painting. He then attended the Academy of Fine Arts and in 2014 he was a guest of the DENA Foundation for a residency project in Paris. Also in 2014, he began exhibiting his work in solo and group exhibitions. A few years later he began collaborating with PierPaolo Calzolari with whom the relationship is still open and constant. In the meantime, exhibitions such as “toys are us” at A+B Gallery in Brescia, “da che mani vidi Zan Cin” at Otto Gallery in Bologna, “Mira il mare mà lè” at Centro Arti Visive Pescheria in Pesaro, “No diamond in the sky” at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome and “Coba Coba” at Megadue in Bologna should be mentioned. Also in 2020, he was awarded with the Italian Council for a cultural exchange project in Urugay that saw him spend a month in residence in Montevideo. In 2022 he released “MONOCHROMO,” a monographic book published by Cura.books, which reports on his artistic journey. Today he lives and works in Acqualagna, a small town between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine mountains, continues his artistic research and is a professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Reggio Calabria.
