Good question. Apart from his dates and that he travelled and painted in Rome there is no biographical information on the net or in any of the books I have. I will try to find out more about him when I can. Thanks.

Hi Everybody,
i can tell you something about A. Pisa. Why you know him? Pisa is not so famous, but is nice for me know that you love him!! Pisa Born at 1864 in Ferrara and died at 1930 in Florence.
He study at Rome and at Florence and from the beginning his style was close to the "macchiaioli" movement and Impressionism. After he work in Paris and overall for 30 years in London where he reach a good fame with his Watercolors. I have of him a watercolor: "Westminster" London. I like too much Pisa and the italians Masters of 19 century. I think, there is no so great difference with Impressionism made in France!
Thanks and best regards!
