Carlo Siviero took painting and drawing lessons against his father's will and enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples in 1899. From 1903, he regularly took part in exhibitions and competitions. Siviero opened a studio in Rome in 1908. During a trip to Paris, he took part in the Salon d'Automne and met Henri Matisse. In 1910/11, he stayed in Munich and The Hague. Back in Rome, he became a member of the Accademia di San Luca and was elected its president in 1926. Since Siviero refused to join the Sindicato Fascista, he had to give up his chair at the Academy of Arts in Naples during fascism. In 1950, the University of Rome commissioned him to restore and paint over frescoes covered with fascist symbols. Siviero painted landscapes and flowers as well as portraits. Among other things, he produced a portrait in pastel of Pope Pius II on behalf of the Vatican.
