    Desc: L'arte di un uomo di Dio: Directed by Vito Amodio. With Tito Amodei. This is the story of an extraordinary and amazing artist's life, an outsider of contemporary art and faith, from 1926 to the present day and forever. In the history of humanity there have been few men who, after being consecrated to God, have become great artists: Andrej Rublëv, Leon Battista Alberti, Caldéron de la Barca, Vivaldi. Tito is the latest of these great artists. Father Tito Amodei was a sculptor and painter of prodigious expressive power. 1953, breaking the strict rules of the Passionist order, his superiors allowed Tito to attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. It was a scandal. In his long career, he created large and small works, ranging from the figurative to the abstract, from nude art to religious themes. He regularly held exhibitions and major museums around the world host his pieces. His studio is in Rome, at the convent of the Passionists of the Holy Stairs. Tito died at the age of 91 in 2018. The film explores Tito's extraordinary life. It delves into his work process and his profound reflections on art as expression, on art as a profession, and on the relationship between art and the Catholic church.
