Enzo Roberti (1924–1990) was an Italian painter known for his expressive figurative works and innovative techniques. Born in Subiaco, he studied under Benedetto Tozzi, absorbing the influences of the Roman School before graduating from Rome’s Art School of Via Ripetta in 1950.
Roberti’s early work featured landscapes, still lifes, and scenes of everyday life, often tied to his hometown. He gained recognition in the 1960s, participating in major exhibitions such as the Rome Quadriennale (1961) and the Palazzo delle Esposizioni (1961), where he won awards including the IGNIS Prize for Sacred Art (1960). His first solo show was held at Galleria San Marco (Rome, 1961), earning critical acclaim.
In the 1970s, Roberti developed his signature "shirt" motif—a symbol of existential and spiritual exploration. His breakthrough came with a 1974 solo exhibition at Galleria Giosi (Rome), establishing him as "the painter of shirts." He later created a celebrated Via Crucis series, first exhibited at the Colosseum (1976) during Pope Paul VI’s Good Friday procession. This series toured Italy and was permanently installed in Rome’s Church of the Military Presidium at Cecchignola (1989).
Roberti maintained a long collaboration with Galleria l’Agostiniana (Rome), exhibiting there over 15 times. His later works included portraits of historical figures and large-scale commemorative pieces, such as his 1984 Bombing of Subiaco mural, now in the town’s council chamber.
