Alberto Biasi was born in Padua on 2 June 1937 to Giuseppe and Silvia Zappi Recordati. His family has already given art a painter, Lavinia Fontana, a well-known name of seventeenth-century painting and a poet, Tirsi Leucasio, initiator with Metastasio dell’Arcadia. Soon, in the years of the war, Alberto remained orphaned by his mother and was welcomed by his paternal grandmother in Carrara San Giorgio, a small village in the countryside of Padua where his grandmother ran an inn. He grew up in contact with the people of the village, in an atmosphere of extended family, up to the high school years, when he returned to Padua to attend the Liceo Classico, then moved to Venice to follow the Institute of Architecture and the Higher Course of Industrial Design, where he won a scholarship established by Paolo Venini. They are years of knowledge and artistic passions, approaching and deepening fundamental moments of twentieth century art: the Neoplastic movement, Futurism, Dadaism enter and take root in the formation of the young Biasi.
In 1958 he began teaching art design and history in public school and in 1969 he was assigned the chair of arts in advertising graphics (which he would keep uninterrupted until 1988). Meanwhile, the artist’s activity took shape: in 1959 he received the first prize from Virgilio Guidi at the IV Biennale Giovanile d’Arte in Cittadella. It is the first public recognition of an artist who was, albeit very young, filtering ferments, political ideals, artistic concerns: The Enne Group is born in Padua, with which it will work (but Biasi is the soul and driving force of the historic artistic group) until its definitive dissolution in 1967. Biasi's contacts soon spread at national and international level: In 1960 he exhibited with Manzoni and Castellani and the European artists of the New Art Concept. The innovative spirit of those years sees him protagonist: In 1961 he joined the movement "New Trends", in 1962, as Group N, with Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari and the Group T participates in the founding of the movement of programmed art.
