'''Antonio Diego Voci''' (VOH-chee 1920–1985) was an internationally collected [[Italy|Italian]] [[Figurative art|figurative]] artist with the largest group of owners of his works residing in [[Switzerland]], [[England]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Canada]] and the [[United States|US]]; as well as various works scattered the world over.<ref name ="four">{{cite web|url=https://www.diegovociproject.com/|title=Diego Voci Website|author=Chris Voci|access-date=18 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806155856/http://www.diegovociproject.com/About.html|archive-date=6 August 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="five">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715002549/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 July 2014 |title=Diego Voci History |publisher=Artifact Collectors |date=13 March 2012 |access-date=18 May 2012 }}</ref><ref name="six">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html |title=Diego Voci (Antonio Diego Voci) |publisher=Artifact Collectors |date=12 May 2012 |access-date=18 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714145247/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html |archive-date=14 July 2014 }}</ref> Although constantly drawing or painting from childhood to the day he succumbed to lung cancer, Diego's most productive period was the last quarter century of his life which began when he met Helga Drössler in January 1960 in [[Paris]].<ref name ="five"/> A significant turning point in Diego's career, Diego said, "My life took on new meaning.

"Each movement had its great masters, but there are very few who could create art unconfined by a single style like Diego." – Christopher Voci<ref name ="four"/>
[[Impressionism]], [[Cubism]], [[Surrealism]], and [[Fauvism]] all experienced the hand of Diego Voci who was fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the face and figure, whether the female body nude or in ballet, or the etched lines of life's hardships in an old man's face, or the grace and power of the horse.

All three Voci boys were sent to [[Reggio Calabria|Reggio]] to study tailoring.<ref name ="four"/> In December 1920, four months after Diego's birth, their father took the oldest brother Vincenzo, age 15, to Philadelphia where they both worked as tailors. For 3 ½ years Messina Arcangela raised "Toto", her pet name for Diego, until her husband came back to Gasperina with enough money to open a dry goods store.<ref name="ten"/> In 1930, Vincenzo returned to Italy<ref name="ten"/> to marry 17-year-old Anna Spadea, (born 1913 Gasperina) whom he took back to Philadelphia continuing as one of the area's finest tailors and designer for Pincus Manufacturing.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/> The middle brother, Giuseppe became a professional musician and played in the Rome Orchestra.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven">{{cite interview|last= Gibson Naffouj|first= Joy|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref>
Diego sold his first painting at age 18.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> Typical of most parents, Giuseppantonio, encouraged his son to follow in his traditional profession, "Toto [Diego], the God of Art does not give bread."<ref name ="three"/> But the compulsion in Diego for art was too strong, the pleasure too rewarding, "'I was born to paint."<ref name ="three"/> And paint he did in the thousands, and drawings beyond count.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/> In addition to his vast array of artworks, Diego would also design and make his own clothes as an adult, and for the ladies of his liking.<ref name ="seven"/>
Diego relied on himself for money. All members of the Voci family agree Diego never received financing from the family, and that he never worked at any occupation other than art.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven">{{cite interview|last= Voci|first= Anthony "Tony" (nephew of Diego)|title=Interview }}</ref> Upon venturing out on his own Diego summoned his practical side to employ his art talent to works of art he knew the public would quickly buy, to raise money or trade for food, bed, paint and canvas, and to finance his study, to expand knowledge, experience and skill.<ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> Also to enjoy pleasures in life, and sports. (Diego was a competitive cyclist in high school.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/>) His time to create his own masterworks would come later.
==1939–1948: school and WWII==
[[Image:DIEGO 1946.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Diego one month before his 26th birthday in a suit made by his brother Giuseppe, taken in Rome on break from Florence Academy of Fine Arts]]
Art schools and [[World War II]] military service in the [[Italian Army]] would consume Diego's life through 1948. At 19 Diego enrolled at the [[Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze|Florence Academy of Arts in San Marco Piazza]]. At 20 his art studies were interrupted by [[World War II]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/>
1945 with the war over, Diego then returned to the Florence Academy of Arts for 3 years studying the classic styles of sculpture and painting of [[Donatello]], [[Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo]], [[Michelangelo]] and many others.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eleven"/>
===World War II POW: art was the key to survival===
During [[World War II]], Diego was sent to the front lines as an [[Italian Army]] soldier to fight against the [[Nazi Germany|Germans]]. Conditions were horrible. When he came home on leave Diego's mother Messina Arcangela had to boil her son's uniform to get rid of the lice infestation.<ref name="ten"/> On his return Diego was captured and sent to a German Prisoner of War Camp in North Germany.<ref name ="seven"/> With luck or ingenuity or both, Diego the survivor befriended the German Camp Commander who was so impressed with Diego's artistic talents, he moved Diego to his quarters to live and make paintings and caricatures.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="thirtysix">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818/Page3.html#67|title=Mario Voci on Diego's time as a POW |publisher=Artifact Collectors|date=18 January 2012|access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref> Diego enjoyed those privileges until the end of the war.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="thirtysix"/> It is generally believed that Diego also befriended an American Officer who was a prisoner in the same camp which led to the important contribution the American Military Community would play in Diego's career providing a reliable source of income. Diego's works were likely signed "Voci", as it was not until 1965/6 the "Diego" signature was prominently used.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/>
In 1948 Diego moved to [[Paris]] to further his education at [[Ecole des Beaux-Arts]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eleven"/> In [[Paris]] Diego learned "the real academy is the café, study people, meet so many artists."<ref name ="three"/>
Diego thrived on camaraderie,<ref name ="seven"/> as did other artists before him, such as Amedeo Modigliani, both "[[Figurative art|figurative]]" artists, both Italian born, both migrated to Paris.<ref name ="seven"/> Among Diego's many facets was a drive never to be poor,<ref name="ten"/><ref name="seven"/> never to live a tormented drug ridden life of [[Amedeo Modigliani]] who at age 35 "died in Paris exacerbated by poverty only one exhibition to his credit."<ref>Klein, Mason, et al., ''Modigliani: Beyond the Myth'', page 56. The Jewish Museum and Yale University Press, 2004.</ref> or the tortured life of [[Vincent van Gogh]] who died at age 37, with only one painting purchased in his lifetime. Diego greatly admired the exceptional work of both artists, but, unlike both artists who found few buyers for their work, in their lifetime, Diego did for his.<ref name="six"/><ref name="eleven"/><ref name ="fifteen">{{cite web|url=http://imgur.com/AodjY|title=Siegfred Dahms, Owner Galerie Dahms, Wiesbaden |access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref><ref name="twelve">{{cite interview|last= Naffouj|first= Jawdat|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref>
===Diego's influences===
Professor [[Felice Carena]] (1879–1966), who was one of Italy's great religious artists displayed in Museum of Modern Religious Art in [[Rome]], was a mentor for Diego.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego in his youth also worked as an assistant to [[:it:Antonino Calcagnadoro|Antonino Calcagnadoro]] (1876–1935), who was known for his church frescos.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego admired [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Renoir]], [[Paul Cézanne|Cézanne]], [[Edgar Degas|Degas]], [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]] and [[Vincent van Gogh|Van Gogh]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> There was a reluctance in Diego to pinpoint his early inspiration. When asked in 1973 Diego said, "[[Michelangelo]] is the greatest. There are so many. [[Leonardo da Vinci]], [[Botticelli]], [[Rembrandt]]. And [[Joan Miró|Miró]], [[Marc Chagall|Chagall]], [[Picasso]]. So many."<ref name ="three"/><ref name ="1979cat"/>
==1949–1959 the painter explorer==
===Venice===
The powerful urge was deep in Diego's DNA to explore the world and its people to capture in art all that it offered. During Diego's extensive travels he said "I was always painting, always learning ...to fill a need to express."<ref name ="three"/>
1949 Diego established his home base in [[Venice]],<ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> where he would paint, travel and return. That need to explore the world took Diego to [[Spain]], [[Portugal]], [[North Africa]], [[Turkey]], [[England]] and [[Scandinavia]].<ref name ="four"/> Canadian Art Dealer, Joy Gibson Naffouj wrote, "Diego displayed his work often...displaying his work in [[Torino]], [[Capri]] and [[Venice]]. His first one man show was at the Galleria La Bussula in Torino."<ref name="eleven"/> In 1951 the city of Venice sponsored a competition, a showcase for Italian artists. [[Carlo Carrà]] (1881–1966) noted figure of the Futurist movement and arguably the most important Italian artist at the time, won first prize. Diego won second prize.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> Also, in 1951 Diego had a one-man show in [[Switzerland]] and painted for galleries who represented master artists including Rembrandt, Renoir, and [[Monet]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego was commissioned to do frescos, sculptures, relief sculptures and canvases by private collections, Italian restaurants, and galleries throughout Europe.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> After his one-man show in [[Lugano]] in 1953, Diego travelled continuously stopping to show in [[Milano]], [[Rome]] and [[Genoa]].
===First marriage===
[[Image:Tony, josiane, diego.jpg|thumb|right|200x180px|Anthony (Tony) Voci, Josiane Schäfer Voci, wife Diego at Mont Blanc]]
Also in 1953, Diego met 16-year-old Josiane Schäfer, a ski instructor and daughter of a well-to-do [[Swiss people|Swiss]] family, who at 18 would become Mrs. Voci.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> The Schäfer family owned a mountain cabin for skiing.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyseven"/>
===Diego travels with nephew===
In 1956, Diego moved to [[Wiesbaden]], [[Germany]] with his first wife Josiane.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Diego's [[United States|American]] nephew, Anthony (Tony) Voci, son of Vincenzo, was stationed at [[Leighton Barracks|Wurzburg U.S. Army Base]] as a Tank Commander.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony was impressed that Diego knew the Base Commander and obtained leave time for him.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Diego showed Tony the portraits of Officers he was commissioned to do, but said, "That is <u>not</u> art!"<ref name="twentyseven"/>
Anthony spent much of his free time touring [[West Germany|Germany]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Northern Italy]] with Diego.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony said, "Anytime there was an espresso sign we stopped. Everybody knew Diego. He would sketch the waitress on a napkin and hand it to her. Diego would paint or sketch nearly every waking minute while traveling together."<ref name="twentyseven"/>

It is notable that Anthony Voci is the only known person identified to date that is in possession of any art work by Diego from childhood to 1957.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony recalls on their travels together through Europe, he said "I'm hungry". Diego stopped and said "You are hungry? I paint you something to eat.", and minutes later gave Tony a memento of his time when his uncle played a joke on him. Tony, at 80, is living in [[Philadelphia]] where this gift from Diego is displayed.<ref name="twentyseven"/>
Another day, Diego swiftly completed a gouache of a Paris "Café Scene" as a second gift to his nephew, also dated 1957, and signed "D. Voci", which Tony since gave to his son, Chris Voci.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> View serious works by Diego in [[Antonio Diego Voci#Gallery|Gallery Section]].
==1960–1985 life with Helga Drössler Voci==
===Paris===
[[Image:Helga Voci.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Helga Drössler]]
The 25 years of Diego Voci with Helga Drössler Voci (born in [[Prague]] in 1939) were by every standard his best contributing years to the world of art.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/><ref name="twelve"/><ref name="twentyeight">{{cite interview|last= Khan|first= Christine|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref> The following paragraph is excerpted from "HELGA and DIEGO" Chapter Two<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="thirtyeight">{{cite web|url=http://imgur.com/2vKjm|title=Paris Residence Permit |access-date=17 June 2012}}</ref>
{{Blockquote|I decided to go back to Paris in January 1960 to study for another period. Shortly after that I met Diego one Sunday afternoon my girlfriend Eve and I were sitting in [[Les Deux Magots]], a very famous coffeehouse which was frequented by many artists such as [[Pablo Picasso]] and writer [[Ernest Hemingway]]. The famous Italian sculptor, Gigi Guadagnucci (whom we had already known from before) entered together with Diego (had never seen before) and they came to sit at our table. We had a nice chat and some time later they left. Okay, this was the beginning of a 25 years lasting love, we stayed together until December 1985 when Diego died of lung cancer. In Paris we stayed until October 1960. We had a wonderful time, I became acquainted with another part of Paris, we went to fantastic Restaurants, we met very interesting people, many artists, long discussions in – [[:fr:La Coupole (brasserie)|La Coupole]]-another famous place, that was frequented by such artists as [[Yves Klein]] (painter), [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] and [[Simone de Beauvoir]] (both writers) and many others. Diego was living in a small Hotel near the Seine, he did not really work, just a few sketches from time to time and I was wondering how he was financing his living. He made a big secret about his finances. He spent quite a lot of money, he had a big car and he hardly worked. From time to time he went off from Paris for a few days or a week and then everything went on again. He told me that he was separated from his wife Josiane, maiden name Schäfer, she was from Geneva, Switzerland. I know that he had been living with her for some time in Geneva and also in Wiesbaden but how he made his living at that time I don't know. Whether he was painting or not, he never talked about it.}}
===Diego Voci and caricatures===
[[Image:Caricature of doctor.jpg|thumb|right|90x140px|Caricature of Dr. Franz Brandl, Helga Voci's stepfather]]
Diego was popular in the World War II POW Camp doing caricatures and portraits<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name ="thirtysix"/> Connections Diego made with the American prisoners led to Diego's later cash flow source in the American Officer's Clubs that dotted Europe after WWII.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/> Moreover, Diego considered the practice of caricatures that he swiftly and superbly executed to be an excellent study of people and faces, his favorite subjects.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="nine"/>
Helga Voci describes her discovery,<ref name="five"/>
{{Blockquote|Some time later I found out that Diego was doing caricatures in American Officers Clubs in France, Germany and later on also in London and Spain. He did wonderful caricatures, it took him only a few minutes to do each one and people were crazy about them, they stood in line waiting for their turn. He made a lot of money with this, I`m sure there are still many Officers who remember him. When I said to him why was he not painting or only a little, he said that he was studying people and he would start later on.}}
===Southern Europe and London===
Summer of 1960 in [[Paris]], Helga fell ill where she was hospitalized for 3 months with Diego at her side, at which time Diego officially registered as a resident of Paris.<ref name="five"/><ref name ="thirtyeight"/> Diego took Helga to [[South France]] to relax in "''very good hotels''" for recovery until the holiday season. Helga went to [[Bavaria]] to be with her family.<ref name="five"/> Diego went to [[London]] to rent a furnished apartment in [[Soho]] where Helga joined him in January.<ref name="five"/> Diego painted.

===Schlossgalerie Zurich===
[[Image:Image of DIEGO painting in studio.jpg|thumb|right|125x150px|Diego Painting in Schlossgalarie studio 1963]]
A notable event for Diego in the fall of 1962 was the agreement he made with Schlossgalerie in [[Zurich]] under the name "Antonio Voci" (no Diego) to sell his paintings to their wealthy patrons, many of whom were horse aficionados.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="three"/><ref name ="twenty">{{cite news| title=Originalgemälde von Antonio Voci| url = https://i.imgur.com/BLxtd.jpg| date = 20 January 1965|access-date = 19 June 2012}}</ref> Schlossgalerie provided Diego a studio.

Helga Voci said, "The owner [R. Buri] sold quite many paintings."<ref name="five"/><ref name="three"/><ref name ="twenty"/> During this time Diego also went to Aviano Air Base to sell paintings and would do caricatures in the Officer's club.

===Return to Italy===
[[Image:Painting of Italian Family.jpg|thumb|left|170px|''"Italienishe Arbeiterfamilie"'', 31 ½" x 39 ¼" oil on canvas]]
Diego longed to leave [[Switzerland]] to return to the warmer southern country where he felt more at ease and more inspired to paint.<ref name="six"/> As Victoria Williams wrote in the TV Guide, "Where people gather in groups to talk on the street, play games in the yard, sit in parks, lovers, strangers, the poor, the rich, mothers, fathers, children, happy people, sad people.

Helga Voci wrote,<ref name="five"/>
{{Blockquote|We left Zurich for Italy in July 1963, stayed sometime in Milan, Florence and Rome. When we came to a small medieval town in Northern Italy called Asolo (1,000 inhabitants) we rented an apartment in a very old house in the middle of town with a big terrace. Diego made his first real studio. He mostly sold in Zurich with the Schlossgalerie. But, he also worked with Globart Kunstgalerie in Milano.}}
===Germany – Naffouj and Dahms galleries===
The sequence of four women entering Diego's life and the impact on Diego's success cannot be overestimated.

{{Blockquote|Diego is one of the few artistic personalities whose paintings really appeal to the German people. They understand, they get excited about, and they really enjoy living with Diego's art.

NOTE: A very large Diego painting is known to have been sold in 1978 by Herr Dahms for DM 15,000.<ref name="nine"/>

We rented a little house on top of a big house with a very big terrace. We had a beautiful view over the ocean. We had wonderful 6 months. Diego painted each day.

===The final decade===
The last 10 years of Diego's life, his representation grew widespread from Galerie Dahms in [[Wiesbaden]], Naffouj Gallery in [[Landstuhl]], to Talbert's Gallery, [[Washington D.C.|Washington]], US, and Glen Burnie Gallery, [[Maryland]], US. In addition, in [[Canada]] exhibitions for Diego in 1981 were held at Goldcrest Galleries, [[Toronto]]; Stephen Max, [[Alberta]]; and the Van Zoolingen Gallery in [[Edmonton]]. And others such as, Salon Panetta in [[Mannheim|Manheim]], [[Germany]], with Gallerist Fausto Panetta (Rome region native), where over 20 Diegos sold in one exhibition.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="six"/>

As Diego's acclaim grew, he ventured into publishing another series of prints handmade on special lithostones in [[Urbino]], [[Italy]] in 1979, financed by Naffouj Gallery.<ref name="five"/><ref name="twelve"/>
In the last 10 years the faces by Diego became less rugged, more refined and elongated.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> What never changed in Diego's art was his trust in human character. In painting after painting the presence of the human face and figure revealed Diego's vision of the world.<ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="twentyeight"/>
During a second visit to the [[United States]] in 1980 accompanied by their daughter Alessandra, Diego and Helga visited with his brother, Vincenzo in [[Philadelphia]].<ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/> Travels included [[New York City|New York]] and then headed west stopping in [[Tacoma, Washington]] where Diego had an exhibit at Talbert's Kleine Gallery, and Inga Fine Arts in addition to Good Years Gallery in [[Seattle]].<ref name="five"/> Their travels brought them to [[San Francisco]], [[Albuquerque]], [[Colorado Springs]] and [[New Orleans]] visiting American friends they had met in [[Germany]] and held private exhibits along the way.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="thirtytwo"/>

==Rediscovering lost art of Antonio Diego Voci==
The mystery is what happened to all of Diego's early artwork?
With his vagabond nature, Diego was notoriously a poor record keeper.<ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyeight"/> Although early examples of Diego Voci artwork are out there somewhere, Diego's first sale at age 18, and all works until 1957 remain totally undiscovered.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Search for physical evidence of his art continues.<ref name="six"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Until 1965, the signatures are all likely a form of "Voci", not "Diego" as mostly on works after 1965.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> (See comments on the signatures of Antonio Diego Voci in a following section.)
===Problem of hoarding===
Diego's death was followed by a twenty-five-year vacuum of information.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> An Internet search made by a seeker of anything about Diego Voci would come up empty.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Diego was mostly unknown in the broader art world beyond his dedicated band of devoted collectors who each bought several pieces and basically "hoarded" his work.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="twentyeight"/><ref name="twentyfive">{{cite interview|last= Max|first= Stephen|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref><ref name="twentysix">{{cite interview|last= Albrecht|first= Ernst|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref><ref name="twentynine">{{cite interview|last= Hauk|first= Monika|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref> Puzzled, an owner of 5 Diego pieces, Mary Trimmins in 2008 posted a simple question on [https://web.archive.org/web/20140714145247/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html ArtifactCollectors.com], "Are there any Diego painting owners out there?"<ref name="six"/> Little by little Diego owners discovered Trimmins post.<ref name="five"/>
About 50 collectors responded owning collectively over 400 Diego art pieces.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> The significant common denominator was that collectors bought, kept and treasured all their Diegos' for 35 to 45 years, displaying them and enjoying them.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name="twentyeight"/><ref name="twentyfive"/><ref name="twentysix"/><ref name="twentynine"/> Result Diego's art did not appear on the market.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> But, time is ruthless. Diego collectors are in their senior years and many no longer grace this earth. The result is smatterings of Diego's art have been appearing in various countries on the market in Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada.
===Search on Internet sites established===
In 2009, inspired by the positive response of Diego collectors' to Trimmins question, Diego's grand nephew Christopher Voci in Philadelphia created [http://www.diegovociproject.com www.diegovociproject.com] with a mission to "Rediscover Lost Art of Antonio Diego Voci".<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eight"/> A Diego collector in California also volunteered to assist in the search for lost Diego artwork establishing sites on [[Facebook]] (Diego Voci), Twitter ([https://www.twitter.com/diegovoci @DiegoVoci]). Also on Artifact Collectors, (to supplement the Trimmin's thread) "Diego Voci History" and "Diego Voci Painting of the Week".<ref name="nine"/>
After a quarter century vacuum of information the collaborative internet search for the thousands of undiscovered works by Diego Voci is gradually yielding collectors in various countries. Fifteen of the more avid collectors identified each had a dozen or more works by Diego.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name ="six"/> One self-confessed Diego "hoarder" referred to his "addiction" for collecting Diego's artwork as the ''"Potato Chip Phenomenon"'', you can't stop at only one.<ref name="nine"/> Siegfred Dahms, Wiesbaden art dealer expressed a similar experience.<ref name ="three"/><ref name ="1979cat"/><ref name ="fifteen"/>
===Switzerland: two works discovered===
[[Image:Horses Racing DIEGO.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"''Horses Racing''" 1962/63, 40" x 28", oil on canvas]]
The earliest physical evidence found to date of a purchase of Diego art work is two larger beautifully rendered paintings sold by the Schlossgalarie, in Zurich, Switzerland. Owner R. Buri considered these two paintings to be "Antonio Voci" masterworks. His wealthy clients often sought exceptional horse paintings. The 1962/3 "Horses Racing", was described by Mr. Buri as a "Voci masterpiece with hints of a fine [[Edgar Degas]]."<ref name="newAC">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818/Page8.html#230|title=Diego / Degas post|publisher=Artifact Collectors|author=Lisa Camargo|date=12 June 2012|access-date=7 July 2012}}</ref>
Just as Diego travelled the world, so too did his art. "Horses Racing" went to auction in Paris where it was purchased by an antique dealer from Basel. It was then purchased by a Czech born grand-dame as a wedding gift to her new son-in-law, who came from a family of race horse breeders in India. When contacted about his Diego in London where he resides, the son-in-law declared, "You call it a Diego, I consider it a Voci". And it is signed "A. Voci". Schlossgalerie advertised the artist under the name "Antonio Voci"<ref name ="twenty"/> (No "Diego").
Also signed "A. Voci" is another significant Diego piece "Alt und Yung" pictured in the Schlossgalerie advertisement of the [[Neue Zürcher Zeitung]] 20 January 1965.<ref name ="twenty"/> This painting also travelled, purchased in Zurich and ending in US, 43 years later.
[[Image:Horses Grazing DIEGO.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"''Alt und Yung''"<ref name="twentyone"/> 1965, 47" x 59", oil on canvas]]
A colour image of Diego's "Alt und Yung" painting can also be seen in a 2008 rare internet recorded sale on [http://liveauctioneers.com LiveAuctioneers.com]. Kodner Auctions mis-titled the painting "Horses Grazing".<ref name="twentyone"/> In the absence of information about the artist, the painting was sold for a fraction of its original selling price. Later, a Diego collector offered to triple the price (or more), but requests to Kodner to reveal the present whereabouts were rejected.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/>
==Innocenzo v. Diego==
"Diego" as he wanted the world to know him, rejected his birth middle name "Innocenzo".<ref name="one"/> Being the youngest of three boys by fifteen years, that sweet little newborn was the picture of innocence (Italian: innocenza). Diego wanted to be seen as anything but innocent.<ref name="ten"/> The family pet childhood name "Toto" was enough to bear.<ref name="ten"/> "Diego told me he never liked his middle name," said Helga Drössler Voci, wife.<ref name ="seven"/> "Innocenzo" is conspicuous by its official document absence in Diego's life. Innocenzo was discovered only on his birth certificate. After that it is "Antonio Voci" until 1976 when "Diego" is slipped into a government document.<ref name="two"/>

'''Antonio Diego Voci''' (VOH-chee 1920–1985) was an internationally collected [[Italy|Italian]] [[Figurative art|figurative]] artist with the largest group of owners of his works residing in [[Switzerland]], [[England]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Canada]] and the [[United States|US]]; as well as various works scattered the world over.<ref name ="four">{{cite web|url=https://www.diegovociproject.com/|title=Diego Voci Website|author=Chris Voci|access-date=18 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806155856/http://www.diegovociproject.com/About.html|archive-date=6 August 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="five">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715002549/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 July 2014 |title=Diego Voci History |publisher=Artifact Collectors |date=13 March 2012 |access-date=18 May 2012 }}</ref><ref name="six">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html |title=Diego Voci (Antonio Diego Voci) |publisher=Artifact Collectors |date=12 May 2012 |access-date=18 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714145247/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html |archive-date=14 July 2014 }}</ref> Although constantly drawing or painting from childhood to the day he succumbed to lung cancer, Diego's most productive period was the last quarter century of his life which began when he met Helga Drössler in January 1960 in [[Paris]].<ref name ="five"/> A significant turning point in Diego's career, Diego said, "My life took on new meaning.

"Each movement had its great masters, but there are very few who could create art unconfined by a single style like Diego." – Christopher Voci<ref name ="four"/>
[[Impressionism]], [[Cubism]], [[Surrealism]], and [[Fauvism]] all experienced the hand of Diego Voci who was fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the face and figure, whether the female body nude or in ballet, or the etched lines of life's hardships in an old man's face, or the grace and power of the horse.

All three Voci boys were sent to [[Reggio Calabria|Reggio]] to study tailoring.<ref name ="four"/> In December 1920, four months after Diego's birth, their father took the oldest brother Vincenzo, age 15, to Philadelphia where they both worked as tailors. For 3 ½ years Messina Arcangela raised "Toto", her pet name for Diego, until her husband came back to Gasperina with enough money to open a dry goods store.<ref name="ten"/> In 1930, Vincenzo returned to Italy<ref name="ten"/> to marry 17-year-old Anna Spadea, (born 1913 Gasperina) whom he took back to Philadelphia continuing as one of the area's finest tailors and designer for Pincus Manufacturing.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/> The middle brother, Giuseppe became a professional musician and played in the Rome Orchestra.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven">{{cite interview|last= Gibson Naffouj|first= Joy|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref>
Diego sold his first painting at age 18.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> Typical of most parents, Giuseppantonio, encouraged his son to follow in his traditional profession, "Toto [Diego], the God of Art does not give bread."<ref name ="three"/> But the compulsion in Diego for art was too strong, the pleasure too rewarding, "'I was born to paint."<ref name ="three"/> And paint he did in the thousands, and drawings beyond count.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/> In addition to his vast array of artworks, Diego would also design and make his own clothes as an adult, and for the ladies of his liking.<ref name ="seven"/>
Diego relied on himself for money. All members of the Voci family agree Diego never received financing from the family, and that he never worked at any occupation other than art.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven">{{cite interview|last= Voci|first= Anthony "Tony" (nephew of Diego)|title=Interview }}</ref> Upon venturing out on his own Diego summoned his practical side to employ his art talent to works of art he knew the public would quickly buy, to raise money or trade for food, bed, paint and canvas, and to finance his study, to expand knowledge, experience and skill.<ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> Also to enjoy pleasures in life, and sports. (Diego was a competitive cyclist in high school.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/>) His time to create his own masterworks would come later.
==1939–1948: school and WWII==
[[Image:DIEGO 1946.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Diego one month before his 26th birthday in a suit made by his brother Giuseppe, taken in Rome on break from Florence Academy of Fine Arts]]
Art schools and [[World War II]] military service in the [[Italian Army]] would consume Diego's life through 1948. At 19 Diego enrolled at the [[Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze|Florence Academy of Arts in San Marco Piazza]]. At 20 his art studies were interrupted by [[World War II]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/>
1945 with the war over, Diego then returned to the Florence Academy of Arts for 3 years studying the classic styles of sculpture and painting of [[Donatello]], [[Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo]], [[Michelangelo]] and many others.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eleven"/>
===World War II POW: art was the key to survival===
During [[World War II]], Diego was sent to the front lines as an [[Italian Army]] soldier to fight against the [[Nazi Germany|Germans]]. Conditions were horrible. When he came home on leave Diego's mother Messina Arcangela had to boil her son's uniform to get rid of the lice infestation.<ref name="ten"/> On his return Diego was captured and sent to a German Prisoner of War Camp in North Germany.<ref name ="seven"/> With luck or ingenuity or both, Diego the survivor befriended the German Camp Commander who was so impressed with Diego's artistic talents, he moved Diego to his quarters to live and make paintings and caricatures.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="thirtysix">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818/Page3.html#67|title=Mario Voci on Diego's time as a POW |publisher=Artifact Collectors|date=18 January 2012|access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref> Diego enjoyed those privileges until the end of the war.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="thirtysix"/> It is generally believed that Diego also befriended an American Officer who was a prisoner in the same camp which led to the important contribution the American Military Community would play in Diego's career providing a reliable source of income. Diego's works were likely signed "Voci", as it was not until 1965/6 the "Diego" signature was prominently used.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/>
In 1948 Diego moved to [[Paris]] to further his education at [[Ecole des Beaux-Arts]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eleven"/> In [[Paris]] Diego learned "the real academy is the café, study people, meet so many artists."<ref name ="three"/>
Diego thrived on camaraderie,<ref name ="seven"/> as did other artists before him, such as Amedeo Modigliani, both "[[Figurative art|figurative]]" artists, both Italian born, both migrated to Paris.<ref name ="seven"/> Among Diego's many facets was a drive never to be poor,<ref name="ten"/><ref name="seven"/> never to live a tormented drug ridden life of [[Amedeo Modigliani]] who at age 35 "died in Paris exacerbated by poverty only one exhibition to his credit."<ref>Klein, Mason, et al., ''Modigliani: Beyond the Myth'', page 56. The Jewish Museum and Yale University Press, 2004.</ref> or the tortured life of [[Vincent van Gogh]] who died at age 37, with only one painting purchased in his lifetime. Diego greatly admired the exceptional work of both artists, but, unlike both artists who found few buyers for their work, in their lifetime, Diego did for his.<ref name="six"/><ref name="eleven"/><ref name ="fifteen">{{cite web|url=http://imgur.com/AodjY|title=Siegfred Dahms, Owner Galerie Dahms, Wiesbaden |access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref><ref name="twelve">{{cite interview|last= Naffouj|first= Jawdat|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref>
===Diego's influences===
Professor [[Felice Carena]] (1879–1966), who was one of Italy's great religious artists displayed in Museum of Modern Religious Art in [[Rome]], was a mentor for Diego.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego in his youth also worked as an assistant to [[:it:Antonino Calcagnadoro|Antonino Calcagnadoro]] (1876–1935), who was known for his church frescos.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego admired [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Renoir]], [[Paul Cézanne|Cézanne]], [[Edgar Degas|Degas]], [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]] and [[Vincent van Gogh|Van Gogh]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> There was a reluctance in Diego to pinpoint his early inspiration. When asked in 1973 Diego said, "[[Michelangelo]] is the greatest. There are so many. [[Leonardo da Vinci]], [[Botticelli]], [[Rembrandt]]. And [[Joan Miró|Miró]], [[Marc Chagall|Chagall]], [[Picasso]]. So many."<ref name ="three"/><ref name ="1979cat"/>
==1949–1959 the painter explorer==
===Venice===
The powerful urge was deep in Diego's DNA to explore the world and its people to capture in art all that it offered. During Diego's extensive travels he said "I was always painting, always learning ...to fill a need to express."<ref name ="three"/>
1949 Diego established his home base in [[Venice]],<ref name="ten"/><ref name="eleven"/> where he would paint, travel and return. That need to explore the world took Diego to [[Spain]], [[Portugal]], [[North Africa]], [[Turkey]], [[England]] and [[Scandinavia]].<ref name ="four"/> Canadian Art Dealer, Joy Gibson Naffouj wrote, "Diego displayed his work often...displaying his work in [[Torino]], [[Capri]] and [[Venice]]. His first one man show was at the Galleria La Bussula in Torino."<ref name="eleven"/> In 1951 the city of Venice sponsored a competition, a showcase for Italian artists. [[Carlo Carrà]] (1881–1966) noted figure of the Futurist movement and arguably the most important Italian artist at the time, won first prize. Diego won second prize.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> Also, in 1951 Diego had a one-man show in [[Switzerland]] and painted for galleries who represented master artists including Rembrandt, Renoir, and [[Monet]].<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> Diego was commissioned to do frescos, sculptures, relief sculptures and canvases by private collections, Italian restaurants, and galleries throughout Europe.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/> After his one-man show in [[Lugano]] in 1953, Diego travelled continuously stopping to show in [[Milano]], [[Rome]] and [[Genoa]].
===First marriage===
[[Image:Tony, josiane, diego.jpg|thumb|right|200x180px|Anthony (Tony) Voci, Josiane Schäfer Voci, wife Diego at Mont Blanc]]
Also in 1953, Diego met 16-year-old Josiane Schäfer, a ski instructor and daughter of a well-to-do [[Swiss people|Swiss]] family, who at 18 would become Mrs. Voci.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> The Schäfer family owned a mountain cabin for skiing.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyseven"/>
===Diego travels with nephew===
In 1956, Diego moved to [[Wiesbaden]], [[Germany]] with his first wife Josiane.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Diego's [[United States|American]] nephew, Anthony (Tony) Voci, son of Vincenzo, was stationed at [[Leighton Barracks|Wurzburg U.S. Army Base]] as a Tank Commander.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony was impressed that Diego knew the Base Commander and obtained leave time for him.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Diego showed Tony the portraits of Officers he was commissioned to do, but said, "That is <u>not</u> art!"<ref name="twentyseven"/>
Anthony spent much of his free time touring [[West Germany|Germany]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Northern Italy]] with Diego.<ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony said, "Anytime there was an espresso sign we stopped. Everybody knew Diego. He would sketch the waitress on a napkin and hand it to her. Diego would paint or sketch nearly every waking minute while traveling together."<ref name="twentyseven"/>

It is notable that Anthony Voci is the only known person identified to date that is in possession of any art work by Diego from childhood to 1957.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> Tony recalls on their travels together through Europe, he said "I'm hungry". Diego stopped and said "You are hungry? I paint you something to eat.", and minutes later gave Tony a memento of his time when his uncle played a joke on him. Tony, at 80, is living in [[Philadelphia]] where this gift from Diego is displayed.<ref name="twentyseven"/>
Another day, Diego swiftly completed a gouache of a Paris "Café Scene" as a second gift to his nephew, also dated 1957, and signed "D. Voci", which Tony since gave to his son, Chris Voci.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="twentyseven"/> View serious works by Diego in [[Antonio Diego Voci#Gallery|Gallery Section]].
==1960–1985 life with Helga Drössler Voci==
===Paris===
[[Image:Helga Voci.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Helga Drössler]]
The 25 years of Diego Voci with Helga Drössler Voci (born in [[Prague]] in 1939) were by every standard his best contributing years to the world of art.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eleven"/><ref name="twelve"/><ref name="twentyeight">{{cite interview|last= Khan|first= Christine|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref> The following paragraph is excerpted from "HELGA and DIEGO" Chapter Two<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="thirtyeight">{{cite web|url=http://imgur.com/2vKjm|title=Paris Residence Permit |access-date=17 June 2012}}</ref>
{{Blockquote|I decided to go back to Paris in January 1960 to study for another period. Shortly after that I met Diego one Sunday afternoon my girlfriend Eve and I were sitting in [[Les Deux Magots]], a very famous coffeehouse which was frequented by many artists such as [[Pablo Picasso]] and writer [[Ernest Hemingway]]. The famous Italian sculptor, Gigi Guadagnucci (whom we had already known from before) entered together with Diego (had never seen before) and they came to sit at our table. We had a nice chat and some time later they left. Okay, this was the beginning of a 25 years lasting love, we stayed together until December 1985 when Diego died of lung cancer. In Paris we stayed until October 1960. We had a wonderful time, I became acquainted with another part of Paris, we went to fantastic Restaurants, we met very interesting people, many artists, long discussions in – [[:fr:La Coupole (brasserie)|La Coupole]]-another famous place, that was frequented by such artists as [[Yves Klein]] (painter), [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] and [[Simone de Beauvoir]] (both writers) and many others. Diego was living in a small Hotel near the Seine, he did not really work, just a few sketches from time to time and I was wondering how he was financing his living. He made a big secret about his finances. He spent quite a lot of money, he had a big car and he hardly worked. From time to time he went off from Paris for a few days or a week and then everything went on again. He told me that he was separated from his wife Josiane, maiden name Schäfer, she was from Geneva, Switzerland. I know that he had been living with her for some time in Geneva and also in Wiesbaden but how he made his living at that time I don't know. Whether he was painting or not, he never talked about it.}}
===Diego Voci and caricatures===
[[Image:Caricature of doctor.jpg|thumb|right|90x140px|Caricature of Dr. Franz Brandl, Helga Voci's stepfather]]
Diego was popular in the World War II POW Camp doing caricatures and portraits<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name ="thirtysix"/> Connections Diego made with the American prisoners led to Diego's later cash flow source in the American Officer's Clubs that dotted Europe after WWII.<ref name="ten"/><ref name="nine"/> Moreover, Diego considered the practice of caricatures that he swiftly and superbly executed to be an excellent study of people and faces, his favorite subjects.<ref name="ten"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="nine"/>
Helga Voci describes her discovery,<ref name="five"/>
{{Blockquote|Some time later I found out that Diego was doing caricatures in American Officers Clubs in France, Germany and later on also in London and Spain. He did wonderful caricatures, it took him only a few minutes to do each one and people were crazy about them, they stood in line waiting for their turn. He made a lot of money with this, I`m sure there are still many Officers who remember him. When I said to him why was he not painting or only a little, he said that he was studying people and he would start later on.}}
===Southern Europe and London===
Summer of 1960 in [[Paris]], Helga fell ill where she was hospitalized for 3 months with Diego at her side, at which time Diego officially registered as a resident of Paris.<ref name="five"/><ref name ="thirtyeight"/> Diego took Helga to [[South France]] to relax in "''very good hotels''" for recovery until the holiday season.

===Schlossgalerie Zurich===
[[Image:Image of DIEGO painting in studio.jpg|thumb|right|125x150px|Diego Painting in Schlossgalarie studio 1963]]
A notable event for Diego in the fall of 1962 was the agreement he made with Schlossgalerie in [[Zurich]] under the name "Antonio Voci" (no Diego) to sell his paintings to their wealthy patrons, many of whom were horse aficionados.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="six"/><ref name ="three"/><ref name ="twenty">{{cite news| title=Originalgemälde von Antonio Voci| url = https://i.imgur.com/BLxtd.jpg| date = 20 January 1965|access-date = 19 June 2012}}</ref> Schlossgalerie provided Diego a studio.

===Return to Italy===
[[Image:Painting of Italian Family.jpg|thumb|left|170px|''"Italienishe Arbeiterfamilie"'', 31 ½" x 39 ¼" oil on canvas]]
Diego longed to leave [[Switzerland]] to return to the warmer southern country where he felt more at ease and more inspired to paint.<ref name="six"/> As Victoria Williams wrote in the TV Guide, "Where people gather in groups to talk on the street, play games in the yard, sit in parks, lovers, strangers, the poor, the rich, mothers, fathers, children, happy people, sad people.

Diego made his first real studio. He mostly sold in Zurich with the Schlossgalerie. But, he also worked with Globart Kunstgalerie in Milano.}}
===Germany – Naffouj and Dahms galleries===
The sequence of four women entering Diego's life and the impact on Diego's success cannot be overestimated. First, 1960 was Helga for 25 years.<ref name ="seven"/> Then, in 1965 Joy Gibson, a [[Canada|Canadian]] art dealer opened a location in [[Zweibrucken]], [[Germany]] between the [[Royal Canadian Air Force|Canadian]] and the [[United States Air Force|American Air Force]] bases.<ref name="six"/><ref name="eleven"/> As Diego's agent for seven years, she with assistance of Jawdat Naffouj who became her husband, opened Naffouj Gallery in [[Landstuhl]] which Jawdat still runs today.<ref name="twelve"/> The Naffouj's introduced the iconic Diego signature which dominated Diego works for the next two decades. They turned art buyers into devoted Diego collectors throughout Germany, USA and Canada; they also published eight Diego lithographs.<ref name="eleven"/><ref name="twelve"/> In 1972, Lillian Dussard who worked for Naffouj Gallery, became Diego's agent to the Department of Defense locations until she went to US and opened her own gallery in Stafford, Virginia.<ref name="eleven"/> In 1974 Christine Kahn took over the agent responsibilities for Diego for the next decade.<ref name="twentyeight"/> All 3 women worked closely with Helga.<ref name ="seven"/> Christine and Helga's friendship continues into present time.<ref name ="seven"/><ref name="twentyeight"/>
Diego ceased working with Schlossgalerie when Helga and Diego moved in 1965 to [[Wiesbaden]], [[Germany]].<ref name="five"/> Diego continued to take trips to Italy where he received a commission from Alfa Romeo in 1966.<ref name="eleven"/> He also made a connection with the luxurious Galerie Dahms located on the prestigious Wilhelmstrasse of Wiesbaden that would last for many years.<ref name ="fifteen"/>
Owner Siegfred Dahms wrote,<ref name ="three"/><ref name ="1979cat"/><ref name ="fifteen"/>
{{Blockquote|Diego is one of the few artistic personalities whose paintings really appeal to the German people. They understand, they get excited about, and they really enjoy living with Diego's art. The beauty of his paintings and the desire of possession are often so immense that people gradually acquire more and more of his work.}}
NOTE: A very large Diego painting is known to have been sold in 1978 by Herr Dahms for DM 15,000.<ref name="nine"/>
In 1965, Diego leased an apartment for five years in [[Wiesbaden]].<ref name="five"/> Diego also made a 5-year agreement with Naffouj Gallery in Landstuhl for so many paintings for so much per month.<ref name ="eleven"/><ref name="twelve"/> Joy Naffouj said, "To watch Diego paint is magical.

{{Blockquote|We finally decided to marry, which we did in January 68 in [[Denmark]]. As Diego did not have to bother anymore about how to sell his paintings, we decided to spend the winter in the [[Canary Islands]]. We took our car in December 1968, with lots of canvases and paints of many colors. We went to [[Barcelona]] and took the boat to [[Puerto de la Cruz]] ([[Tenerife]]). We rented a little house on top of a big house with a very big terrace. We had a beautiful view over the ocean. We had wonderful 6 months. Diego painted each day. Once a month we made a roll of the canvases and sent them to Joy and Jawdat Naffouj in [[Landstuhl]], [[Germany]].}}
After five years, in 1970, recognizing Diego's significant talent, Jawdat Naffouj wanted assurance for future Diego artwork so a written guarantee contract went into effect signed, "Antonio Diego",<ref name="twelve"/><ref name="Naffouj contract">{{cite web|url=http://imgur.com/0vEdC|title=Diego Signature Contract with Naffouj Gallery |access-date=16 June 2012}}</ref> this is the only evidence of the name Diego in a document signature from birth until 1976 when he registered in Taunusstein.<ref name="two"/> In March 1970, to prepare for a one-man exhibit in [[Ravenna]], Italy at Galleria Cairoli in October, Diego and Helga rented a villa enjoying the Italian lifestyle along the Adrian Sea in [[Riccione]], while still mailing paintings to Naffouj Gallery.<ref name="twelve"/>

===The final decade===
The last 10 years of Diego's life, his representation grew widespread from Galerie Dahms in [[Wiesbaden]], Naffouj Gallery in [[Landstuhl]], to Talbert's Gallery, [[Washington D.C.|Washington]], US, and Glen Burnie Gallery, [[Maryland]], US. In addition, in [[Canada]] exhibitions for Diego in 1981 were held at Goldcrest Galleries, [[Toronto]]; Stephen Max, [[Alberta]]; and the Van Zoolingen Gallery in [[Edmonton]]. And others such as, Salon Panetta in [[Mannheim|Manheim]], [[Germany]], with Gallerist Fausto Panetta (Rome region native), where over 20 Diegos sold in one exhibition.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="six"/>

As Diego's acclaim grew, he ventured into publishing another series of prints handmade on special lithostones in [[Urbino]], [[Italy]] in 1979, financed by Naffouj Gallery.<ref name="five"/><ref name="twelve"/>
In the last 10 years the faces by Diego became less rugged, more refined and elongated.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> What never changed in Diego's art was his trust in human character. In painting after painting the presence of the human face and figure revealed Diego's vision of the world.<ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="twentyeight"/>
During a second visit to the [[United States]] in 1980 accompanied by their daughter Alessandra, Diego and Helga visited with his brother, Vincenzo in [[Philadelphia]].<ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/> Travels included [[New York City|New York]] and then headed west stopping in [[Tacoma, Washington]] where Diego had an exhibit at Talbert's Kleine Gallery, and Inga Fine Arts in addition to Good Years Gallery in [[Seattle]].<ref name="five"/> Their travels brought them to [[San Francisco]], [[Albuquerque]], [[Colorado Springs]] and [[New Orleans]] visiting American friends they had met in [[Germany]] and held private exhibits along the way.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="thirtytwo"/>

==Rediscovering lost art of Antonio Diego Voci==
The mystery is what happened to all of Diego's early artwork?
With his vagabond nature, Diego was notoriously a poor record keeper.<ref name="five"/><ref name="ten"/><ref name="twentyeight"/> Although early examples of Diego Voci artwork are out there somewhere, Diego's first sale at age 18, and all works until 1957 remain totally undiscovered.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Search for physical evidence of his art continues.<ref name="six"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Until 1965, the signatures are all likely a form of "Voci", not "Diego" as mostly on works after 1965.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> (See comments on the signatures of Antonio Diego Voci in a following section.)
===Problem of hoarding===
Diego's death was followed by a twenty-five-year vacuum of information.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> An Internet search made by a seeker of anything about Diego Voci would come up empty.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/> Diego was mostly unknown in the broader art world beyond his dedicated band of devoted collectors who each bought several pieces and basically "hoarded" his work.<ref name="six"/><ref name ="seven"/><ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/><ref name="twentyeight"/><ref name="twentyfive">{{cite interview|last= Max|first= Stephen|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref><ref name="twentysix">{{cite interview|last= Albrecht|first= Ernst|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref><ref name="twentynine">{{cite interview|last= Hauk|first= Monika|interviewer= Coop Cooprider|title=Interview }}</ref> Puzzled, an owner of 5 Diego pieces, Mary Trimmins in 2008 posted a simple question on [https://web.archive.org/web/20140714145247/http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818.html ArtifactCollectors.com], "Are there any Diego painting owners out there?"<ref name="six"/> Little by little Diego owners discovered Trimmins post.<ref name="five"/>
About 50 collectors responded owning collectively over 400 Diego art pieces.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> The significant common denominator was that collectors bought, kept and treasured all their Diegos' for 35 to 45 years, displaying them and enjoying them.<ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/><ref name="twentyeight"/><ref name="twentyfive"/><ref name="twentysix"/><ref name="twentynine"/> Result Diego's art did not appear on the market.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name="six"/> But, time is ruthless. Diego collectors are in their senior years and many no longer grace this earth. The result is smatterings of Diego's art have been appearing in various countries on the market in Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada.
===Search on Internet sites established===
In 2009, inspired by the positive response of Diego collectors' to Trimmins question, Diego's grand nephew Christopher Voci in Philadelphia created [http://www.diegovociproject.com www.diegovociproject.com] with a mission to "Rediscover Lost Art of Antonio Diego Voci".<ref name ="four"/><ref name="eight"/> A Diego collector in California also volunteered to assist in the search for lost Diego artwork establishing sites on [[Facebook]] (Diego Voci), Twitter ([https://www.twitter.com/diegovoci @DiegoVoci]). Also on Artifact Collectors, (to supplement the Trimmin's thread) "Diego Voci History" and "Diego Voci Painting of the Week".<ref name="nine"/>
After a quarter century vacuum of information the collaborative internet search for the thousands of undiscovered works by Diego Voci is gradually yielding collectors in various countries. Fifteen of the more avid collectors identified each had a dozen or more works by Diego.<ref name ="four"/><ref name="five"/><ref name ="six"/> One self-confessed Diego "hoarder" referred to his "addiction" for collecting Diego's artwork as the ''"Potato Chip Phenomenon"'', you can't stop at only one.<ref name="nine"/> Siegfred Dahms, Wiesbaden art dealer expressed a similar experience.<ref name ="three"/><ref name ="1979cat"/><ref name ="fifteen"/>
===Switzerland: two works discovered===
[[Image:Horses Racing DIEGO.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"''Horses Racing''" 1962/63, 40" x 28", oil on canvas]]
The earliest physical evidence found to date of a purchase of Diego art work is two larger beautifully rendered paintings sold by the Schlossgalarie, in Zurich, Switzerland. Owner R. Buri considered these two paintings to be "Antonio Voci" masterworks. His wealthy clients often sought exceptional horse paintings. The 1962/3 "Horses Racing", was described by Mr. Buri as a "Voci masterpiece with hints of a fine [[Edgar Degas]]."<ref name="newAC">{{cite web|url=http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio-diego-voci-3984818/Page8.html#230|title=Diego / Degas post|publisher=Artifact Collectors|author=Lisa Camargo|date=12 June 2012|access-date=7 July 2012}}</ref>
Just as Diego travelled the world, so too did his art. "Horses Racing" went to auction in Paris where it was purchased by an antique dealer from Basel. It was then purchased by a Czech born grand-dame as a wedding gift to her new son-in-law, who came from a family of race horse breeders in India. When contacted about his Diego in London where he resides, the son-in-law declared, "You call it a Diego, I consider it a Voci". And it is signed "A. Voci". Schlossgalerie advertised the artist under the name "Antonio Voci"<ref name ="twenty"/> (No "Diego").
Also signed "A. Voci" is another significant Diego piece "Alt und Yung" pictured in the Schlossgalerie advertisement of the [[Neue Zürcher Zeitung]] 20 January 1965.<ref name ="twenty"/> This painting also travelled, purchased in Zurich and ending in US, 43 years later.
[[Image:Horses Grazing DIEGO.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"''Alt und Yung''"<ref name="twentyone"/> 1965, 47" x 59", oil on canvas]]
A colour image of Diego's "Alt und Yung" painting can also be seen in a 2008 rare internet recorded sale on [http://liveauctioneers.com LiveAuctioneers.com]. Kodner Auctions mis-titled the painting "Horses Grazing".<ref name="twentyone"/> In the absence of information about the artist, the painting was sold for a fraction of its original selling price. Later, a Diego collector offered to triple the price (or more), but requests to Kodner to reveal the present whereabouts were rejected.<ref name="eight"/><ref name="nine"/>
==Innocenzo v. Diego==
"Diego" as he wanted the world to know him, rejected his birth middle name "Innocenzo".<ref name="one"/> Being the youngest of three boys by fifteen years, that sweet little newborn was the picture of innocence (Italian: innocenza). Diego wanted to be seen as anything but innocent.<ref name="ten"/> The family pet childhood name "Toto" was enough to bear.<ref name="ten"/> "Diego told me he never liked his middle name," said Helga Drössler Voci, wife.<ref name ="seven"/> "Innocenzo" is conspicuous by its official document absence in Diego's life. Innocenzo was discovered only on his birth certificate. After that it is "Antonio Voci" until 1976 when "Diego" is slipped into a government document.<ref name="two"/>

In Paris we stayed until October 1960. We had a wonderful time, I became acquainted with another part of Paris, we went to fantastic Restaurants, we met very interesting people, many artists, long discussions in – <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Coupole_(brasserie)" class="extiw" title="fr:La Coupole (brasserie)">La Coupole</a>-another famous place, that was frequented by such artists as <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Yves_Klein" title="Yves Klein">Yves Klein</a> (painter), <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre" title="Jean-Paul Sartre">Jean-Paul Sartre</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Simone_de_Beauvoir" title="Simone de Beauvoir">Simone de Beauvoir</a> (both writers) and many others. Diego was living in a small Hotel near the Seine, he did not really work, just a few sketches from time to time and I was wondering how he was financing his living. He made a big secret about his finances. He spent quite a lot of money, he had a big car and he hardly worked. From time to time he went off from Paris for a few days or a week and then everything went on again. He told me that he was separated from his wife Josiane, maiden name Schäfer, she was from Geneva, Switzerland. I know that he had been living with her for some time in Geneva and also in Wiesbaden but how he made his living at that time I don't know. Whether he was painting or not, he never talked about it.</p></blockquote>

<p>The earliest physical evidence found to date of a purchase of Diego art work is two larger beautifully rendered paintings sold by the Schlossgalarie, in Zurich, Switzerland. Owner R. Buri considered these two paintings to be "Antonio Voci" masterworks. His wealthy clients often sought exceptional horse paintings. The 1962/3 "Horses Racing", was described by Mr. Buri as a "Voci masterpiece with hints of a fine <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Edgar_Degas" title="Edgar Degas">Edgar Degas</a>."<sup id="cite_ref-newAC_39-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newAC-39">[39]</a></sup>
</p><p>Just as Diego travelled the world, so too did his art. "Horses Racing" went to auction in Paris where it was purchased by an antique dealer from Basel. It was then purchased by a Czech born grand-dame as a wedding gift to her new son-in-law, who came from a family of race horse breeders in India. When contacted about his Diego in London where he resides, the son-in-law declared, "You call it a Diego, I consider it a Voci". And it is signed "A. Voci". Schlossgalerie advertised the artist under the name "Antonio Voci"<sup id="cite_ref-twenty_23-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-twenty-23">[23]</a></sup> (No "Diego").
</p><p>Also signed "A. Voci" is another significant Diego piece "Alt und Yung" pictured in the Schlossgalerie advertisement of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Neue_Z%C3%BCrcher_Zeitung" title="Neue Zürcher Zeitung">Neue Zürcher Zeitung</a> 20 January 1965.<sup id="cite_ref-twenty_23-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-twenty-23">[23]</a></sup> This painting also travelled, purchased in Zurich and ending in US, 43 years later.
