Enrico Bugli (Naples 1937) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. In the mid-fifties he frequented the avant-garde Neapolitan cultural environment and came into contact first with Lucio Del Pezzo, then with Bruno Di Bello and then with Group 58 becoming a collaborator of the magazine «Documento Sud». In the early sixties he created verbovisive works and frequented Eugenio Miccini and Lamberto Pignotti. In this period he met artists such as Diodato, Pascali and Della Casa, while he gradually moved away from the «Linea Sud» environment, which continued the work of Luca and the painters of Gruppo 58. But he did not stop collaborating with Luciano Caruso and Stelio Maria Martini, who also participated in the work of the magazine. He has exhibited in important solo exhibitions such as that of 1965 in Genoa, at the La Carabaga gallery, and collective exhibitions, such as that of Naples in 1966, with Matarrese, Diodato and Morelli. The attendance of Group 70, finally, gave way to Bugli to participate in the happening "Luna Park", and, after the dissolution of the group, to collaborate with the Center "Tèchne" of Eugenio Miccini.
