Riccardo Licata was born in Turin on December 20, 1929.
Between 1947 and 1955, he studied at the artistic high school then at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Venice. In 1957, he obtained a scholarship from the French government to experiment, in Paris, color engraving and new techniques, in collaboration with Friedlaender, Hayter and Goetz.
He was called the same year to be assistant to Gino Severini at the Italian School of Art in Paris.
In 1961, he was appointed professor of mosaic at the National School of Paris where he taught until 1995. The prestigious posts followed one another: in 1969, he was professor of visual arts at the UER of the Sorbonne, then professor of engraving at the Académie Goetz in Paris and, from 1972, held the same position at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice and at the American School of Architecture in Fontainebleau.
