Collection: Mauro Lovi
He was born in Lucca and he’s still working there. He began his art in the 70s, with personal and collective art exhibitions. At the same time as the architecture studies, he had the very first experiences in the experimental reading of the physical urban space with some performances and installations. In 1985, he joined the Third International Architecture Exhibition Biennale di Venezia, with Adolfo Natalini. He created for Megalopoli Milano: Uscita dell’Emiciclo and some other objects. Since 1986 he began his professional career as an architect, his interest is addressed in the space between art, architecture and design. He designs interior spaces, private residences, shops and installations integrating the different components of memory, architecture and art.
He collaborates with Italian companies in the design of objects and furniture. He made his debut with Giovannetti with Amata in 1992. He participates in events and exhibitions of art and design.
