His promising career, unfortunately, was nipped by an untimely death in 1970, at only 40 years old ”. Amedeo Masacci was born on 30 October 1930 in the Porta Santi neighborhood. After studying Fine Arts in Ravenna, Bologna and Modena he dedicated himself to sculpture and graphics by participating in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad, including the Venice International Art Biennale, the Milan Design Triennale, the Quadrennial art exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. He died on 9 September 1970. In 2005 Cesena dedicated a solo show to him.
