Luigi Lucioni (1900-1988) was an Italian American painter in Vermont and New York best known for his landscapes of Vermont and portraits of opera singers. Born in Malnate, Italy, Lucioni's family immigrated to New York in 1911 and eventual settled in Union City, NJ. Though he never finished primary school, Lucioni was admitted to Cooper Union where he studied painting while also working for a Brooklyn engraving company. After his time at Cooper Union, he continued his studies at the National Academy of Design, and then the Tiffany Foundation in Oyster Bay, Long Island. In 1929, he began spending part of each year in Stowe, Vermont painting still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. In 1939 he purchased a farmhouse and barn near Manchester, Vermont, converting the barn into a studio. He continued to paint and make etchings of the surrounding countryside for the next fifty years.
Lucioni's works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among others.
