Biography

[edit]

Lorenzo Baraldi studied at the faculty of set design of the Istituto d'Arte Paolo Toschi in Parma, Italy, and attended set decoration classes at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan.[1] He taught set decoration at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Viterbo from 1993 to 1995, at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia from 1994 to 1995, at the Accademia di Costume e Moda in Rome from 1995 to 1998, at the Associazione Scenografi Costumisti e Arredatori from 1998 to 1999, at the Istituto Europeo di Design (I.E.D.) during the academic year 2005–2006, and at the campus for arts students of the Sannio Film Festival in the years 2008 and 2009. He made a series of lectures on scenography and scenotechnics at the Istituto d'Arte Paolo Toschi in Parma in the winter of 1996 and in 2000–2001.

Baraldi began his career in cinema as a set decorator for the film Tepepa (1968), directed by Giulio Petroni. He created the sets of various films and television productions, including The Roses of the Desert, The Two Lives of Mattia Pascal, Bertoldo, Bertoldino e Cacasenno, All My Friends Part 2, Il Marchese del Grillo, Hurricane Rosy, Lovers and Liars, An Average Little Man, Goodnight, Ladies and Gentlemen, My Friends (film), and many others.

Baraldi has also worked for directors outside Italy, such as French director Georges Lautner, on the film Le Guignolo (1980), and Michael Radford, on Il Postino: The Postman (1994).

Baraldi was involved in the creation of the 43 columns of the atrium of the Cultural Centre of the Alhóndiga Bilbao in Spain. The history of this project is the subject of a 2010 documentary film.[2][3][4][5]
