The bet on the art

After  that period more or less obscure, Woodns returned to Como in the second half of 1959, he found work as a painter in the then largest city, Ticosa, and there he met his future wife, Carla Peverelli, coming from a family of peasant origin, turned then, with the advent of industrialization, in proletarian nucleus. Umberto became engaged and was in a hurry to get married; convolò wedding May 22, 1960, the feast of St. Rita, the saint of roses. The couple was eager to have children, but were not immediately. They had to wait about three years and then from that marriage were born two children, a boy and a girl.
It was about a year after the wedding that Umberto braced again the brush. It was thanks to the father, Umberto Peverelli, or rather of his provocation. It happened that at a dinner party with his family, he manifested a desire to buy canvases and paints. The father in law, who was a man 'Victorian' with principles very different from his, he had a high regard and, having a little 'weighed that night ruled in dialect: "If you voret ago, you barlafus?». As if to say, "What do you want, little man?". Woodns takers and pushed even more pride, began to paint. And this was for life. He never abandoned more art at his home in Rebbio in Como, in Spartacus 13 / B.
