About The Christopher Ricardo Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Christopher Ricardo Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization comprised of family, friends and business leaders dedicated to raising financial support for research aimed at finding a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic and fatal disease that primarily affects the respiratory and digestive system of 30,000 Americans.
Organized in late 2004, the Christopher Ricardo Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has raised nearly 1 million dollars which in turn has been donated both to the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the "Fondazione per la ricerca sulla fibrosi cistica-onlus" (the CF research foundation in Italy). These two foundations are committed to developing the latest research by raising the median age of people with CF and improving their quality of life.

About Biagio Civale
Born in Rome, Italy in 1935. Studied in Italy, France and USA. Trained in a myriad of techniques and
experimented in multiple media. Produced artworks in a number of styles. Constantly searching the form that coincides with the content. Regularly excited by the expressivity and profundity of the black and white images. Considers himself a modern artist that works and expresses his inner world, an artist that expresses energy, motion and other inner forces. The resulting kind of personal expressionism is like an alternate view versus the mechanical means of representing objects via cameras and photos and realism in general. Has produced woodcuts, drawings, serigraphs, etchings, intaglios, collagraphs, posters, oils, temperas, watercolors, mixed media and bronze sculpture.
