EDOARDO DE BLASIO
Born in Rome on December 29, 1975, Edoardo de Blasio attended the Pirandello Institute of Rome, where he graduated in 1994. From 1994 to 1996 he was an intern in the construction business (Pensuti Costruzioni srl) as a land surveyor, and the following year he provided his services to the Italian Navy. From 1997 to 1998 he attended a course in architecture at the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design), while maintaining his activities with Pensuti Costruzioni, this time as assistant to the technical management of the sites.

From 2001 to 2002, he furthered his studies of Italian art, his "professor" being the Roman antique dealer Cesare Lampronti. In 2003, he presented his first exhibition of contemporary art as curator in his home/studio in Piazza del Popolo (Rome).

From 2002 to 2004, he collaborated and interacted with Italian and Swiss art dealers, both in Italy and abroad. In November 2004, he presented a second exhibition, again in his home/studio, this time on an artist named Pio Joris who worked in Rome, and who straddled the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This exhibition was a great success and was noticed.

In February 2005, he enjoyed the same success producing the same exhibition in Milan, which he presented with his friend and art dealer Mark Riccomini, currently the director of the department of antique paintings of Italy at Christie's, the famous English Auction House. During the summer of that year, he traveled to Germany where he continued to enrich and deepen his knowledge of the history of seventeenth and eighteenth century painting.

From 2005 to 2006, he wrote articles on ancient art for magazines such as Living, Prestige and Via Veneto, published by the communications company ProCom in Padua, which is headed by his friend Matthew Tornielli. His articles were then distributed in chains of luxury hotels. From 2005 to 2006 he worked with the company "Il tempo dell arte" where he organized exhibitions of modern art at the headquarters of the "Il Tempo" newspaper (Afro, Morandi and Campigli).

In September 2006, during the film festival in Venice, he organized and ran a photography exhibit of photography entitled "Scatti sulla Dolce Vita" (Photos of La Dolce Vita), which was a great success, also during the first edition of the Rome Film Festival which was held in the month of October of that same year.

In 2007-2008, he returned to his first love, painting, but this time leaning towards modern and contemporary art. From November 2008 to January 2009 he again worked intensely abroad, this time in Dubai (UAE), where he studied the art of the Middle East.

In March 2009 he created, together with his current associates, a new and original company called RDBR Art & Design. Unique in its kind, this company deals with both creating and decorating any space, whether public or private, while paying attention to every minute detail, and furnishing these spaces from artifacts, whether antique, modern or design.
