Born in Milan in 1893, Luigi (called gigi) Comolli trained at the Brera Academy and embarked on an artistic career which, after the First World War, led him to exhibit in various exhibitions at the Permanent Society and at some Venetian Biennials, as well than in some Milanese galleries. He was mainly a landscape painter, with a preference for the Lombard countryside, but he also devoted himself to still life. His works appear in Milan in the art collections of the Cariplo Foundation, in the Modern Art Gallery and in the Benefactors Picture Gallery of the Ospedale Maggiore.
