Filiberto Minozzi was recruited at a very young age in 1902, in the circle of artists belonging to the Alberto Grubicy Gallery, who cunningly stimulated the painter's pride by exhorting him to exercise the technique of decomposing color on seascapes caught in daylight. Giornata Piovosa (Il Levante Bordighera) develops on canvas the charcoal drawings already made around 1902-1904 in a composition of sure impact, where the high horizon invites the gaze to penetrate the mysteries of an expanse of waves woven by weaves of filaments Segantiniani, a dense arabesque of brushstrokes set one in the other to alternate whites, greens, blues, while superficial touches of violet mirror the dark clouds that let off steam in the background in isolated rain showers. Further on, the leaden sky finally opens up into a pink stripe of serene. The fulcrum of the scene is the parable of the wave that twists on itself to create eddies like blue pupils before breaking into a white foam, expression of the power of an unknown and fearful sea, immense and unmanageable, to which however small anecdotes echo mitigate the drama, from the distant sailing ship to the low and chaotic flight of the seagulls.
