==Biography==
Since his youth, Amedeo Demitry has shown a marked talent for archetypes and new languages of art and culture. His travels in many countries, his visits to museums, galleries, his personal knowledge of international artists, and in particular his studies of art history, led him to a specific profession, always open to a broader vision of socio-cultural realities. There are many exhibitions and major events curated by him, including the artistic direction of Expo Arte Bari in the editions 2012 and 2013, accompanied by collateral exhibitions such as the Anthology of Mario Sironi and Alchimia of Silence
In particular, is also remembered the managerial activity in the creation of the world "finissage" of the exhibition event on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of John Cage, opened in New York and finished at the Swabian Castle of Bari in 2013. This has allowed him to count among his most supportive collaborations, the one with Baroness Lucrezia De Domizio Durini, who likes to call him 'Art Manager', cultural operator famous and recognized throughout the world as one of the most authoritative scholars of the thought and work of the German master Joseph Beuys, having collaborated directly in the famous last operation Defense of Natura.
