Born by a humble family, she first studied at the Livorno Art and Crafts School, under the guidance of Lorenzo Cecchi and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He then becomes a Design teacher at the Technical Institutes. At the same time he has the opportunity to attend the Livorno-Artistic-cultural environments, particularly the Caffè Bardi, where he comes into contact with the ideas of the Catholic Rosacrosse of Josephine Peladan imported into the city by the Belgian incinerator Charles Doudelet.

The attention that Servolini addresses to humanity lies in a series of paintings such as the "Nightwish" or those who immortalize the most disturbing aspects of war conflicts. His postmodern natureism is therefore primarily a mirror of the painful condition in which man is challenged.

It is only in the thirties that Carlo Servolini accesses the most important artistic circuits, both nationally and internationally. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1936, 1940 and 1942, and at the Quadriennale of Rome in 1935, 1939 and 1943. He successfully exhibited important English and American exhibitions.
