Vittorio Scarpati (1953–1989) was an Italian artist and cartoonist best known for his highly-expressive works created during his battle with AIDS. Scarpati was noted for his long black curly hair and having a classic Neapolitan profile.[1] Scarpati’s drawings have been exhibited throughout the world, including at 56 Bleeker Gallary, New York[2] and Studio Voltaire in London.[3]
