Roberto Sacchi was born in Novara the 12^th of April 1959, the second of  4 brothers, sons of Adriano and Maria Iride who originate from a modest farmer’s background.
His infancy is happily spent in the town’s suburbs and surrounding countryside.
He inherits his father’s passion for music and reading.
In 1965 the family move to the town centre and unwillingly does he attend school.

His close affinity with nature and the open air and having a restless character, Roberto prefers life’s school where there is a “wanting to do”.
At the age of 12 he dedicates part of his spare time to reading: adventure stories and classical books reinforce his inborn desire to travel in order to get to know new countries and antique cultures.
Once finished his compulsory schooling he starts work in the hotel-tourist sector travelling alternately in Italy and abroad.
Forced by his excessive need to explore the complicated world of the psyche, he conducts an “on the road” life and in 1985 leaves his job and being influenced by various Latin-American authors departs for Mexico.

He visits the murals in Rivera, Orozco and Siquieros, archaeological sites and churches and here he discovers the magic and beauty of works on glass.
Charmed by the particularity of the places, the hospitality of the people and the diverse ethnic cultures, he returns with renewed spirits in 1988.
In Guanajuato he meets Enriqueta who becomes his life’s companion and in 1990 she follows him to Arona in Italy where they currently live.

Forever searching for that “don’t know what, but something”, starts drawing and painting as a “self-taught”, using various effective techniques dictated to him by instinct and Latin-American influences. 
The symbolism of the Maya and Aztec cultures of the archaeological sites lead him to produce several works on glass with a personal technique in all respects.
In 1997 includes his art name “El Guero” in the signatures of his works.

Reads the life and works of the great masters preferring Egon Schiele because “he is visceral  and transmits strength and powerful expression”.
In 2000 he participates in 4 competitions winning several presentation prizes and rousing favourable opinions from the public.
In August of the same year participates as a guest in a contemporary Haitian artists show in Arona.

Roberto, siempre a la búsqueda " de algo y no sabe que cosa", empieza a diseñar y a pintar como autodidacta, usando diferentes y eficaces técnicas dictadas por el instinto y la influencia latinoamericana.
El simbolismo de las culturas Maya y Azteca de los diferentes sitios arqueológicos lo llevan a realizar algunas obras sobre vidrio con una técnica personal de todo respeto. En 1987 incluye en la firma de sus obras el nombre artístico "El güero".

Leyendo vida y obra de grandes maestros predilige Egon Schiele porque es visceral y transmite la magnificencia y fuerza de expresión. En el 2000 participó en 4 concursos, donde fue admitido obteniendo algunos premios de reconocimiento y opiniones favorables del público. En Agosto del mismo año participa como invitado a una muestra de pintores contemporáneos de Haití en la ciudad de Arona.
