The sources are either Promotional, not RS, merely passing coverage or don't even mention the subject himself. Exhibition history includes Vanity Galleries. The "Enciclopedia d'Arte Italiana" doesn't contain an entry on him.[1] It seems the citation is misleading, and is actually to the entry on Arturo Schwarz. The icing on the cake is that his page was deleted from it wiki. [2] Theredproject (talk) 22:09, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, that's Arturo Schwarz talking about Gigi Rigamonti in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW_I7jM5qtw Vexations (talk) 19:00, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete As Vexations pointed out, Arturo Schwarz is presenting his work at an opening, and even says it was him who encouraged Rigamonti do hold the show in the first place. Schwarz is also co-author of a book about Rigamonti's work. That being said, even searching Italian news i found very little on Rigamonti beyond his cruise ship installation and a 2015 exhibition at a B&B/art gallery. His page on Italian Wikipedia was deleted in 2016 after little debate. Main arguments being that it read like a resume and was largely filled with irrelevant info.

Weak delete - he's exhibited in major art capitals (New York, Milan), but at decidedly secondary galleries. Bearian (talk) 02:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
