Olivero was a painter and sculptor among the leading exponents of pointillism at the turn of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally from Pratorotondo, he moved to Turin to study at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts. He was devoted to social themes, particularly the marginalized, and to the emotional dimension of landscape.
