In 1944 while the Vesuvio was erupting in Naples, Bianca Maria Sarno was born in Atripalda. She spent her girlhood in Salerno: the colours of the Coast of Amalfi would overflow in her first works.

In 1963, after marring Luigi Recchi, she moved to Rome where the experience in Via Margutta would set up her future pictorial technique.

In 1976 After the experiences in Rome and Milan she moved to Naples. In the Bagnoli NATO base (Naples) she got to know a lot of officers who fell in love with the colours of her art and later made ready an exhibition. The Mediterranean magic suggestion kept in her canvas would allure everybody: a lot of her paintings would go to New York, Washington, to Oregon, Florida, to the New Mexico, Texas and Canada.

In 1979 an exhibition is made ready by Paestum Accademy, the critic Carlo Manzi writes in the catalogue about her describing her “dainty” paintings, “soffused sweetness and melancholy”.

The town of Monza, where in 1982 she moved to, organized one man exhibition by “Arengario Civico”: the art critic Carlo Fumagalli reviewed her work on the newspaper “Il cittadino”, where he sayd her great spontaneity takes her far away from every academic scholarship: her art has the secure signs of authenticity and emotion.

In 1983 she moved to Torino where she took part to some events as “Tanti artisti in Via Monferrato” (Many artists in via Monferrato) organized by the newspaper “La Stampa”.

Between 1986 and the year after she travelled across Europe gaining a great success. Some of her works are in Swiss, in Germany, Grece, Belgium, Holland, Ireland and Montecarlo.

In 1990 her town Rivoli, where she was living, organised one man exhibition in the Villa Comunale before she definitively moved to Rome.

From 1992 she has been showing her works in various places: Convitto Nazionale in Naples, Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, Marciana and Marina di Campo in Elba island. In 2002 the town of Ariccia organized a personal exhibition by the “Locanda Martorelli”: a compulsory leg of the Gran Tour where in the XIX century travellers going to Rome as E. Ibsen, M. D’Azeglio, A. Richter and H.C. Andersen used to rest.
