Alpi import export modigliani biography

Amedeo Modigliani was born in Tuscany, and he had a strong Jewish heritage as influenced by his family. He was raised in Livorno, a small yet thriving city in Italy. During his childhood years, Modigliani lived in the city of Livorno that was known to be the centre of commerce famous for shipwrighting and seafaring. However, the city had a longer history of being a place of refuge for people that were harshly persecuted for practicing their religion.

In fact, Solomon Garsin, Modigliani's great-great-grandfather was a Jewish refugee who transferred to Livorno during the 18th century. Modigliani's parents were Flaminio and Eugenia Garsin. Earlier during his life, his family had a comfortable life because of a successful money-changing business. However, the Modiglianis suffered from a tough financial status due to a bankruptcy.

Because of this unfortunate situation, the family lived in poverty. The young boy was much closer to his mother. In fact, she educated Modigliani until he reached 10 years of age. When he was 11, he suffered from pleurisy, which eventually progressed to typhoid fever.

This study relies on two capital structure theories, the Pecking-Order theory and Trade-Off theory to explain the financing decision of the firms.

About 5 years later, he became ill once again with pleurisy and tuberculosis that nearly ended his life. With his mother's great love and care, Modigliani was able to recover completely. Upon his recovery from his diseases, he was accompanied by his mother to a fascinating tour throughout Southern Italy. With his particularly close relationship with his mother, the budding artist became more inspired to pursue his love for art as a primary vocation.

It is also worth noting that the artist was often found to be painting and drawing from an early age.
