Andrea Benetti (born 1964) is an Italian visual artist recognized internationally for his exploration of various art forms, including painting, photography, drawing, installations, and video art. In 2006, he conceived the Manifesto of Neo-Cave Art, presented at the 53rd Venice Art Biennale in 2009, at the Università Ca’ Foscari. This artistic movement, inspired by prehistoric cave art, envisions a bridge between the origins of art and contemporaneity, citing and reinterpreting symbolic and conceptual elements. Not surprisingly, the entry for Andrea Benetti has been included in prestigious encyclopedias, including Treccani, De Agostini, WikiArt, the international encyclopedia of art. Furthermore, his biography on Wikipedia has been translated into thirty languages. In 2020, Andrea Benetti received the 49th “Nettuno d’Oro” Award, the oldest and most prestigious artistic recognition of the city of Bologna. For over twenty years, Andrea Benetti has been actively involved in projects and collaborations with numerous Italian and international universities, including the Universities of Bari, Bergamo, Bologna, Ferrara, Lecce, Messina, Roma Tre, Venice, and the Johns Hopkins University, contributing to the inclusion of Neo-Cave Art in university research programs dedicated to contemporary art. His works are held in significant museums and collections worldwide, including those of the United Nations, the Quirinale, the Chamber of Deputies, the Vatican, and various Embassies around the world.
