Alberto Burri was born in 1915 at Citta de Castelli, in Perugia, Italy. His father was a wine merchant from Tuscany; his mother was a schoolteacher from Umbria. He was steeped in the local country traditions, the rich folklore. Although he had studied art and art history in high school, at the University of Perugia, he studied medicine.
