Rocco Basciano was born in Noepoli, in the province of Potenza, in 1948. Since 1966 he moved to Milan and now has the study in Via Cascina Barocco 10 in Milan, where also resides the association Arte Barocco.
He has been able to use various chromes in assailing landscape memorially and structurally, in the wake of a modern lesson accepted and developed according to his own dreaming sensivity. So that already in 1977, at the time of a personal exhibition of his at the Sever Art Gallery in Milan, Antonino De Bono wrote, on the subject of his tangible, conscious autonomy as regards form-cum-colour:

"The apotheosis of nature emerges with an expressionistic impulse in the paintings of Rocco Basciano...the painter plays upon contrasts to allude to the affront brought to bear upon the landscape, making the demonic eros of its living forces thrown into disorder by consumerist civilisation. He is full-bodied as regards colour, crude in his greens and browns, dreamy in his greys and sky blues, enigmatic and solemn in his reds and yellows, created by blotches and chipped unpunctuated brushstrokes. He is dramatic and geological in the clots thet make up the turf of his fields and the rocks rising perpendiculary from the sea, essential and silent in the pantheistic orgy of the running of water, that is exalted in a crescendo of poisonous moods..."

Registered on the Pero Cultural Association Art and Creativity which is partner and founder. In the 2001 is registered on the Italian Academy.
In 1999 thanks to high merits in the fields of the arts is rewarded with the honorary title of Master of Art of Borgo di Muggiano.
Knowed to have painted the striking and characteristic Italy's sea grottos. Every grotto is represented with the colours and thicknesses of the place. We notice in the landscapes, steps and passages of lights and shades, the accomplished drawing and colour sense.
All this is Rocco Basciano, eclectic painter of the vision which preserves the spontaneity and the love for the painting of the great teachers of the past.
