Vinicio Vianello was a multifaceted artist-designer who adhered to the Spazialist Movement, while remaining transversal to the official artistic current. He represents one of the most complex and significant figures of the post-World War II period. Constantly engaged in free experimentation, among the main purposes of his singular research, emerges the study and manipulation of different materials, from a technical and linguistic point of view. Engraving, painting, ceramics, glass, design, lighting, but also interventions in architecture to projects on alternative energy sources, are the fields of research of this contemporary protagonist who exhibited several times at the Venice Biennale, at the Milan Triennale and won, among other awards, the prestigious La Rinascente Compasso d'Oro Prize in 1957.
