One of these exciting moments, when important and rare design is being rediscovered, surfaced, and analyzed, is coming with the newly-opened exhibition ‘Mario Gottardi: The Innovator of Forms,’ at Milan’s Galleria Rossella Colombari. The original furnishings, which the Italian architect created for Villa Marinotti in 1952 is the focus of this monographic exhibition. While he had an accomplished and productive career, designing such distinctive buildings as the interiors of the Hotel Bauer in Venice, the San Babila Theater in Milan, and the interiors of cruise ships Cristoforo Colombo and Leonardo da Vinci, Gottardi’s brilliant and modernist mid-century furniture is rarely seen. Galleria Rossella Colombari has made its name with illuminating the rarest of rare in Italian design and with creating or introducing it to the market.
