The 1940s
Like all young artists, in 1940 and 1941 Giovanni successfully participated in the Mostre Prelittoriali, organized for university students. This was a necessary step for all artists to develop their career in the structured fascist control system.
At the outbreak of war, he was enlisted in the army and sent to the French front, where he came to know about his mother’s death. He was then discharged and came back to Genoa. Thanks to the director of the Accademia, he did not return to the front.
Instead, he actively took part in the Resistance (together with his fellow student, Giacomo Buranello). He also hid the sculptor Agenore Fabbri, who was wanted by the Brigate Nere [Black Brigades].
Despite the danger, Novaresio continued to successfully exhibit (for example at the 14th Inter-provincial exhibition).
