Giorgio Trentin (1917-2013), eldest son of the anti-fascist exile Silvio and brother of the unionist Bruno, was one of the greatest connoisseurs, enthusiasts and 'defenders' of engraving art in Italy. With this conference promoted a few months after his death, the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice and the Centro documentazione e ricerca Trentin have brought together the researches of scholars from different backgrounds and the testimonies of those who knew Giorgio Trentin. The aim was the one of restoring unity to the two 'faces' of his figure: on one hand the civil and anti-fascist militancy (a characteristic and unmistakable mark of the family) on the other the commitment in the artistic field, which represented personal space of Giorgio or, better, his personal declination of that common militancy. To him, in fact, the engraving technique was an indispensable paradigm of moral rigour and the search for truth.
Giorgio Trentin (1917-2013), primogenito dell’esule antifascista Silvio e fratello del sindacalista Bruno, è stato uno dei massimi conoscitori, appassionati e ‘difensori’ dell’arte incisoria in Italia. Con questo convegno, promosso a pochi mesi dalla sua morte, l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e il Centro documentazione e ricerca Trentin hanno inteso – incrociando le ricerche di studiosi di diversa estrazione e le testimonianze di chi lo ha conosciuto – restituire unità alle due ‘facce’ della sua figura: da una parte la militanza civile e antifascista, marchio caratteristico e inconfondibile della famiglia, dall’altra l’impegno in campo artistico, che era invece lo spazio individuale di Giorgio o, meglio, la sua personale declinazione di quella militanza comune. Nella tecnica incisoria egli scorgeva, infatti, un paradigma irrinunciabile di rigore morale e di ricerca della verità.
