Petition seeks Bacchelli Law annuity for artist Fausto Delle Chiaie
A petition on Change.org, initiated just a week ago, appeals to Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi for the implementation of the Bacchelli Law (Law No. 440/85) for Fausto Delle Chiaie, a 77-year-old artist in dire economic, health, and housing situations. This law grants a lifetime annuity to those who have contributed significantly to Italy. Born in Rome in 1944, Delle Chiaie studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and has created works that fuse Arte Povera, Informale, and Pop Art, including a project at Piazza Augusto Imperatore. He is also the author of the 1986 Manifesto Infrazionista and has exhibited extensively. The petition has garnered 900 out of 1,000 signatures, with prominent supporters like Achille Bonito Oliva and Umberto Croppi.
