Fiore Custode Interview – Frank Rampolla

This is a short clip from our interview with Fiore Custode about Frank Rampolla. Fiore and Frank worked together at Ringling School of Art & Design in the 60’s. It was a special era for the art community in Sarasota during this time.

1. In this clip Fiore briefly shares what it was like working along side Frank
2. What advice Frank shared about being a successful artist

We are blessed with friendships like these and for the memories and stories shared.

Listen as Ron Rampolla interviews his mother, Doris Rampolla (wife of Frank Rampolla). This interview clip is quite special for two reasons:

1.  it captures a remarkable story about the intuition of Frank Rampolla when he painted;
2.  it captures Doris before she suffered a major stroke that prevents her from speaking today.

Doris was pioneer in preserving the artwork, collecting newspapers and stories of Rampolla’s legacy.

Many of Frank Rampolla’s students are just as fond of Doris as they are of Frank. She is a special lady if we may say so, but perhaps we are a bit biased 😉
