Fabio Massimo Caruso lives in Ciampino (Rome) and paints in the studios of Ciampino and Velletri (Rome). He began drawing and coloring as a child and, over the years, painting took on an increasingly important theme for him. Starting from the early 1980s in Rome, he refined his vocation by learning the secrets of the trade inside the Scala Santa Gardens, in the studio of the artist Tito Amodei, as they were used in the artistic workshops of the Renaissance. The opportunity, thanks also to the vitality of the "Sala 1 International Center of Contemporary Art" gallery adjacent to the laboratory, creates multiple comparisons with artists, critics and art historians who frequent the cultural area. His professional activity officially began in 1986. He participates in numerous national and international personal and collective exhibitions. His works are present in private collections and public spaces. He was a designer at Poste Italiane - Filatelia, creating specific objects for philatelic communication.
