Art Nouveau, known in Italy as Liberty style, was configured as a wide-ranging style, which embraced the most disparate fields: architecture, interior and urban decoration, jewelry, furniture and fabrics, tools and objects, lighting, funeral art .

The movement has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon aestheticism of the Arts and Crafts, which had placed the emphasis on the free creation of the craftsman as the only alternative to mechanization and mass production of objects of dubious aesthetic value. Art Nouveau, by reworking these assumptions, paved the way for modern design and modern architecture.
