Borgoni studied at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts, where he was a student of Ignazio Perricci. He dedicated himself as much to realistic and stage painting, often portraying women, as he did to protest posters.
Borgoni frequented the painter Domenico Morelli. He died in Naples in 1936. Here below is a set of amazing posters designed by Mario Borgoni in the early 20th century.
