Silvio Allason (1845–1912) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes, seascapes, and moonlit nocturnes.
He was a resident in Turin. He first trained with his elder cousin, Ernesto Allason.[1] He captures on canvas the calm melancholy of the Alps, the terrible impetuosity of the sea, and the landscapes of moonlit nights. He exhibited in 1877 in Naples, a canvas titled: A noi e Salvataggio; Dopo la tempesta e Sconfitti, exhibited at Turin in 1880. He also painted A Morning at Thuille. In 1887 in Venice, he exhibited: Solitudine. Among his other works: L ' agguato notturno, landscape; At the Montagna and Il gran Cervino (Matterhorn), near the bacino di Breuil in Val Tournanche. Of this artist, the critic Massarani spoke praises, and Levi took note of his nocturnes.[2]
