Zuffi

Piero Zuffi (1919-1998). Painter, set and costume designer. He had a long and happy collaboration with the dressmaker Germana Marucelli, who, in the postwar period and on the trail of Elsa Schiaparelli, stimulated the alliance between fashion and the arts by inviting painters to design fabrics and suggest lines. In the 1950s Zuffi became well-known for his set designs for Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Julius Caesar, which were directed by Giorgio Strehler at Milan’s Piccolo Teatro.
