Piero Fornasetti

Piero Fornasetti is one of the artists which for me is most identified with city of Milan. His art works, prints and accessories decorate apartments and spaces which I always considered as part of the authentic bourgeoisie of the city. Fornasetti lived most of his life (1913 - 1988) in Milan except for a short period of exile in Switzerland during the end of the Second World War. During his life he created more then 11000 items, many are women portraits (he was especially inspired by the face of the operatic soprano Lina Cavelieri), the sun, architectural elements and cityscapes.

His son, Barnaba Fornasetti, continues to design in his father's name. For the official website here .
