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.

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.
