Interior of Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo's studio

Main

Record numberMAGAM/P1074DescriptionAntonio Salvatore Dattilo Rubbo (1870-1955), artist, was born on 21 June 1870 at Naples, Italy.
Moving his family to Manly in 1916, Rubbo was appointed to the War Memorials Advisory Board in 1919. In 1924 he transferred his atelier to larger, more modern premises in Bligh Street and started the Atelier Club. That year he helped to found Manly Art Gallery and Historical Collection (to which he donated over one hundred of his own works) and the Dante Alighieri Art and Literary Society. He maintained his links with Italy and in 1932 was appointed cavaliere of the Order of the Crown of Italy. Two years later he left the Royal Art Society and joined the rival and more forward-looking Society of Artists (life-member, 1954). Last edited by: Penny Morse
