History, genre and portrait painter, and etcher, and an active contributor to the Italian Risorgimento. A patriot, in 1848 Pagliano joined the popular revolt against the Austrian garrison in Milan known as 'Le Cinque Giornate' and in 1849 he fought under Garibaldi in Rome. In 1859 Pagliano volunteered to fight with Garibaldi in the Second War of Independence, as a lieutenant in the 'Cacciatori dell Alpi', and after this experience in his paintings depicting military episodes he tried to convey with immediacy their rawness. Pagliano treated skillfully, as a painter, other nineteenth-century themes and was also an excellent etcher and watercolourist. He participated in important exhibitions throughout Europe and won prestigious awards.
