Zanotta
Design and culture: from these two inspirations, Zanotta draws its identity. Browsing the Zanotta catalog is like entering a real design museum full of the key works of some of the biggest protagonists of the furnishings field. Founded in Nova Milanese by Aurelio Zanotta in the ‘50s, the company inextricably links its name to the avant-garde design season, from which innovative furnishings are born, often enriched by an ironic touch. To these timeless masterpieces, Zanotta flanks reissues of classics from the first half of the twentieth century and a contemporary collection inspired by great lightness and quality.Read more

Gino Levi-Montalcini
Gino Levi-Montalcini (1902-1974) was an important Italian architect. He was a member of an important Turin family of Jewish origins, whose members were able to achieve excellence in various fields: his younger sister Rita-Levi Montalcini was in fact an important scientist, also awarded the Nobel Prize, while her twin Paola was a celebrated painter. Gino's name is instead mainly linked to the architectural movement of Rationalism, a movement he joined by frequenting the avant-garde intellectual circles during his years of study at the Polytechnic of Turin. His first years of activity saw him alongside Giuseppe Pagano, his former classmate: the two co-signed together one of the main rationalist architectures of the period, the Palazzo Gualino in Turin (1928), built to house the offices of the companies of the important Piedmontese industrialist Riccardo Gualino. During the 1930s he continued his activity independently in Turin with numerous projects including Villa Caudano (1935-36). At the end of the decade he was forced to stop working due to the racial laws promulgated by the fascist regime, but managed to escape harsher persecution during the war years. In the post-war period he was the protagonist of an intense university teaching activity in Turin (1948-56), Palermo (1956-64) and Padua (1964-71), accompanied by important projects such as the planning of the new Vallette district in Turin (1957-58) and the Palazzo Nuovo of the University of Turin (1961-66). Some of the furnishings created for his projects were re-edited starting in the 1980s by the Zanotta brand.Read more
