An Italian painter born in 1941, Ugo Nespolo debuted in the artistic panorama in the 1960's, experimenting with unusual techniques and materials over the years.

In 1990, the town of Milan dedicated a show to him at the Palazzo Reale, and the same year he collaborated on the prestigious Campari advertising campaign. In '96 he took over the artistic direction of Richard-Ginori.

In 1997, the Museum of Fine Arts in La Valletta, Malta dedicated a personal show to him, and the same year he organized a traveling exhibition in Latin America. From there, other personal shows followed, like that held at the Chinese National Museum in Beijing and a show at the Walter Wickiser Gallery in New York. The Bargello National Museum in Florence dedicated its first Contemporary Art Show to Ugo Nespolo with this personal show of 40 works of art.

In 2011, Nespolo became the new President of the National Cinema Museum in Turin.

The Cause

The mission at the heart of Theodora is to contribute to the wellbeing of children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers by providing visits from professional performers who have been trained to work in a medical environment.

At the Theodora Children’s Charity, we believe that laughter is the best medicine. Our Giggle Doctors visit children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers across England. By combining music, play, magic and storytelling these professional performers bring magical moments to brave children in challenging times. We believe that EVERY sick or disabled child should get the giggles that only a Giggle Doctor can bring.

Our Giggle Doctors are professional performers, highly trained to work both in the medical environment and with children with disabilities. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring with them a variety of skills (among our team are actors, entertainers, magicians, musicians and singers). The training consists of a rigorous schedule of artistic and medical workshops, which cover topics such as child development, infection control, child bereavement and the impact of illness and bereavement on families.
