Gruppo N

Gruppo N (also known as 'gruppo enne') was founded by Alberto Biasi, Edoardi Landi, and Manfredo Massironi in Padua in 1959. Toni Costa and Ennio Chiggio joined the group in 1960. The group’s gallery, Studio N, opened in Padua in November 1960. The group disbanded in 1964. Biasi, Landi, and Massironi continued to collaborate as Gruppo enne 65, which existed until 1966.
