The Italian painterEmilioVedova, who has died aged 87, was a veteran of one of the 20th century's most bitter artistic conflicts - the "battle of styles" in the 1950s between the neo-realists and the pioneers of expressive abstraction.
By the age of 11, Emilio was forced to earn his living, initially in a factory and then in the studios of a photographer and restorer.
Vedova's strong political motivation could not protect him forever from the embrace of the establishment, and in 1996 he was awarded the grandiloquent title of Cavaliere di Gran Croce della Repubblica Italiana; he even designed a tapestry for the library of the Italian senate in Rome.
