Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) was a Milanese master of the unexpected. Best known for his endless variations on classical imagery—especially the face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri—Fornasetti turned furniture, ceramics, and objects into surrealist canvases. His world was one of visual poetry: part neoclassical, part dream sequence, always with a wink. Decades later, his pieces still feel fresh, strange, and unmistakably alive.
