Armondo Dellasanta (1916-2010) was born of immigrant parents on September 24 in Binghamton, New York and grew up in an ethnically diverse neighborhood filled with shops and teeming with activity. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corps and fought in France and Austria during World War II where he earned the Bronze Star. After the war, he returned to Binghamton and earned a living as a master framer and painting conservator.

He visited New York City in 1939 for the World's Fair. Many visits ensued durig the 1950's and 1960's, where he photographed its sites and scenes from the Battery to Upper Manhattan. He would return to his studio and paint what he had seen.

Just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, he was sent to the important train center of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, where he stood guard at the "old iron bridge." His paintings, etchings and drawings of its hilly landscape and railroad landmarks define quintessential rural Pennsylvania.

He started to paint in the late 1950's. He was influenced by the "Ashcan" School whose artists painted scenes of everyday life. He developed his own unique impressionistic style, painting with customized palette knives. He was referred to by his admirers and the Press as "Binghamton's Van Gogh" and an "Urban Monet."

In January 2008 Armondo Dellasanta's life and work were profiled in a 26-minute segment on Public TV station WSKG in a series called, "Expressions- The Art and Soul of the Southern Tier"
