Depero Deco
In the fall of 1919 the eclectic futurist artist Fortunato Depero (1892-1960) founded the Casa d'Arte Futurista,
a studio-workshop in Rovereto where with the help of his newlywed wife Rosetta he designed and produced
a vast quantity of toys, decorative objects, graphic designs, tapestries and furniture.
The decorative tapestries and cloth-marquetries were designed by Depero
and then put together by Rosetta and a group of women workers under her direction.
Fortunato and Rosetta during their first two-year sojourn in New York.
She is holding the famous Bolted Book.

In his later years, Depero revisited many themes from his previous works.
In 1957 he founded his own museum in Rovereto, the Casa Museo Depero,
which after a long restoration finally reopened to the public in 2009.
You can find a wealth of photos from the museum at designboom.
