The effort of this research was to reunite the paintings that belong to the strong core of Silvia and Lorenzo Licini, those now in the Gallery of Contemporary Art of Osvaldo Licini Ascoli Piceno, the many works in the collection of Bruno and Matthew Lorenzelli well that important Italian collectors, and those pictures of Licini that have become part of the major public collections.
