Gennaro Favai Gennaro Favai was born in Venice in 1879, son of Luigi Favai and contessa Teresa Albrizzi. In his formative years Favai studied the old masters; the Dutch and Spanish schools of the seventeenth century, the English school of the eighteenth century, and the French school of the nineteenth century (Borgmeyer 1912). Around 1895, shortly after enrolling in the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Favai was expelled. He continued to study under Vittore Zanetti Zilla, and formed a long lasting friendship with Mario de Maria. In 1898 Favai first exhibited work in the "Società Promotrice Firenze", Firenze, Italy. Favai received increasing exposure through the 1904 St Louis Exposition, in the Paris "Salon Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts" 1905 exposition, and the 1907 Venice Biennale. In 1912, art critic Charles Louis Borgmeyer wrote an article on Favai’s early works in the Fine Arts Journal (Borgmeyer 1912).
