Ignazio Gardella
A member of the third generation of the Italian Modern Movement and considered one of its greatest exponents, Ignazio Gardella worked on projects for Olivetti, Alfa Romeo and the new headquarters of the Faculty of Architecture in Genoa. He was a strong critic of his own work, reflecting and writing about his desire to free himself from the constraints of Rationalism.
