This is the first book on the international market dealing with twentieth-century Italian masterpieces. The choice of the masterpieces is tied to the best of Italian designers, chosen among the shows and exhibitions devoted to them, as well as their success at world-level auctions, such as the Wright auction in 2005, which featured furniture and furnishings by Franco Albino, Carlo Molino and Ico Parisi and furniture and ceramics by Gio Ponti, among the most significant authors in the panorama of Italian furniture and style. This book is intended for collectors and connoisseurs in search of information and fresh material, specifications useful for eventual purchases or for further valorising the works already in their possession.
