Fortunato Depero was a leading figure of Italian Futurism, an artistic movement that revolutionized 20th century art and design. Born in Fondo (Trento) in 1892 and passed away in Rovereto in 1960, Depero was a multifaceted artist, working as a painter, sculptor, designer, illustrator, set designer and costume designer. Depero enthusiastically embraced the principles of Futurism, celebrating speed, technology and modernity. His works are characterized by vibrant dynamism, geometric shapes and a bold use of color, which reflect his fascination with the industrial and mechanical world. Depero believed in a total art, which expanded into all aspects of daily life. He designed furniture, fabrics, toys and even fountains, taking Futurism beyond traditional art forms.
