Note
"Émile-Gustave Péduzzi was born in Montmartre on July 15, 1851. Little is known about his parents and his youth. His mother, of Italian origin, gave him an enthusiastic and exuberant character. Around 1865, the young man left for England to learn the hat-making trade. But this life, and especially the country, did not appeal to the future painter. Returning to France in 1870, he joined the Paris fire department as a corporal, fighting fires set by the Commune insurgents. His vocation for drawing coincided with a stay in a nursing home in 1873. His life as an artist then began. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts and Jean-Léon Gérôme's studio. The death of his mother in 1880 gave him financial independence, and on July 19, in Paris, he married Marie-Louise Baloffe, who was to be his loving and devoted companion. After a short stay in Auvers-sur-Oise, the couple settled in Lagny in November 1880. Four children were born, including René, Émile (1886-1951 ) and Rita-Émilie, in 1889.
In 1884, having become Cavallo-Péduzzi, he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, and for several years continued to send paintings and drawings. His work marked the birth of the Pointillist movement, but his research never reached a definitive conclusion. Alongside his painting, he produced numerous etchings. After a few years in Lagny, Cavallo-Péduzzi was seduced by his adopted homeland, and drawn into the local history movement headed by J-A. Le Paire. His work was influenced by the old monuments of Lagny, which he defended with his usual ardor. Vigorous articles appeared in the regional press, testifying to his great activity and solid archaeological knowledge. Cavallo-Péduzzi became an esteemed, listened-to and very popular figure. He fought alone, or almost alone, as a man of the people, overflowing and generous, an advocate of all causes. From 1895, he taught ornamental drawing at the d'Alembert school in Montévrain. In 1899, the Union artistique et littéraire du canton de Lagny was founded, and Cavallo-Péduzzi was one of its members. That same year, he organized Lagny's first art show, which was repeated in 1900, 1901 and 1902. At the time, Lagny was home to a large number of artists, painters, engravers, sculptors, writers, etc., who met at the Café du Commerce or the Hôtel de l'Ours. Cavallo-Péduzzi dominated them all with his personality. Very original, he wore a large cape, a wide-brimmed hat and wooden clogs. During the 1914-1918 war, his knowledge of the English language enabled him to act as interpreter for the troops stationed in Lagny. His dedication earned him a place on the supply committee. On April 29, 1917, the elderly painter died on the Route de Tournan, at the end of a life devoted to artistic research and the protection of local heritage.
