Ali Hassoun: Tuscany as His Soul Place, Between Painting, Mosaic and Sculpture

Lebanese artist Ali Hassoun, though born in Sidon, considers Tuscany his spiritual home. After arriving in Italy at eighteen, he studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and later earned a degree in Architecture. His deep connection to Siena led to a 2010 commission to paint the Palio drappellone dedicated to the Madonna di Provenzano. Hassoun expresses that Tuscany is the ideal place to continue his artistic and spiritual journey. For many years, Milan was his base, where he lived with his first wife, Paola, and where his daughter Yasmin was born. The article highlights his ongoing work in painting, mosaic, and sculpture, and his current presence in Versilia, Tuscany, where he continues to create.
