About Domenico “Mimmo” Amelio

BIOGRAPHY

Domenico “Mimmo” Amelio was born in Naples, Italy in 1949, relocating to the United States in 1966.

Educated in culinary and visual arts, Mimmo has been involved in the hospitality industry for over 40 years while continually pursuing and exploring his passion of art. While he has vested interest/ownership of the popular Scampi Grill Restaurant and Bistro in Vero Beach, Florida, Mimmo has focused much of his energy towards various forms of painting (some of which are proudly and uniquely displayed in the restaurant).

Domenico “Mimmo” Amelio

I love life. I love human beings and their beauty. I disapprove injustice and hate in any form of manifestation. My paintings vary from cubism, impressionism, expressionism, astroism or abstract and are always optimistic with vibrant colors.– Domenico “Mimmo” Amelio

 

I paint with great inner passion. I am always exploring new approaches and techniques to keep my work fresh and spontaneous – “Alla Prima”.– Domenico “Mimmo” Amelio
