(via Saint of the Day – 17 April – St Innocent (c285-c353) Bishop and Confessor)

Saint of the Day – 17 April – St Innocent (c285-c353) Bishop and Confessor of Tortona in Italy. Born and died in his See of Tortona. A brave and holy shepherd who underwent all manner of evil for the Faith of Christ.

Cesare Saccaggi (Tortona - IT, February 7, 1868 - Tortona - IT, January 3, 1934).

Saccaggi was an exponent of the "school of Tortona," consisting of the generation of Tortona painters who lived and worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Angelo Barabino and Gigi Cuniolo. Cesare was able to attend the Accademia Albertina in Turin thanks to a 500-lira scholarship from the City of Tortona. After finishing his studies at the Accademia Albertina in 1890, he spent a period of further education in Rome, where he came into contact with the D'Annunzio milieu of "Byzantine Rome," with the painting of the Prefarraellites and with Neopompeian painting. During the 1890s his eclectic production ranged from depictions of classical and oriental scenes to genre and costume scenes set in bygone eras, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, to others inspired by a verism of melodramatic tone.
