Federico Moja
Early Life, Family and Training Federico Moja was born in Milan on October 20, 1802. He grew up within a family of artists, a setting that likely shaped his early understanding of visual form.

It was here that he became a pupil of Giovanni Migliara, learning the technical foundations of his craft under his mentor's guidance. His early output focused on the geometry of space and the quietude of enclosed areas. He spent much of his time working on perspective urban views and the stillness of monastery interiors…
