Luigi (1908-1998). Italian artist, graphic designer, and photographer. He had already established a reputation in the 1930s for his artistic choices that led him in the direction of abstract art, and he spent long periods working in Paris where he sensed an atmosphere different from that of Fascist Italy; he entered into contact with Leger and Kandinsky, and designed for textile companies. In the area of photography, he experimented with solarization and off-camera images, obtaining results — abstract photographs — that were similar to those created by Man Ray and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, whom he had not yet met. In the postwar period, he worked as a graphic designer for such important magazines as Ferrania, Campo Grafico, Domus, and Casabella, but he also continued to work on set design, painting, and photography, doing fashion layouts as well, featuring such experiments as double exposure and solarization.
