Nuovo Milano

Nacido en Innsbruck en 1917, es conocido por todo el mundo como uno de los iniciadores de la revolución en la arquitectura y el diseño, desprendida del funcionalismo rígido de años anterioes y posteriores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial; fue un maestro grande e influyente del diseño italiano, la energía de su lenguaje y la vitalidad de sus colores y líneas contrastan dramáticamente con cualquier intelectualismo y rigidez. Murió en diciembre de 2007.
