Luigi Nono (1850-1918) was an Italian painter, known for his genre scenes depicting life among the poor. Luigi had art exposure from his wealthy artistic family. He had his formal training at Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice (1865), under Pompeo Molmenti. At an early age he began to paint Friulian countryside, but later returned to painting genre subjects of everyday life.

He uses darker colours in his early art, but, later, there is a distinct experimental preference for the whites. He least exploits the atmospheric effects for skies or things on ground. His interior scenes of home of the poor are without any definitive illumination. The portraits, like the interiors scenes remain in his old style of darker tones. His inclusion of active human beings enliven his art and make it popular. In later works some impressionist effects can be observed.
