Although I do not know the actual day Leopoldi Bancalari was born, I do know he was born in 1907, in Guadalajara. He was a painter and sculptor. Bancalari began his studies in art in 1929, while still in high school, attending La Escuela de Artes Plastica.
In 1949, Bancalari became a master at La Escuela de Bellas Artes under Ixca Farias. Bancalari worked in oils and watercolor and in the final years he focused on sculpture. He was a member of the Union of Painters and Sculptors of Jalisco, organized by Jose Clemente Orozco.
Unfortunately I have not been able to locate any examples of his work. Bancalari died in 1977.
