Carlo Ferrario (painter)

[1] Due to disagreements with the theater's management company, over the necessity of a technical laboratory for designers, he left La Scala in 1881 and went to the Teatro Carcano.

There, he worked without an assistant and often collaborated at other theaters, including the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples.

He returned to La Scala in 1887, at the request of Giuseppe Verdi, who wanted him to produce the settings for Otello.

In addition to his theater work, he painted landscapes and architectural interior scenes, in oil and watercolors.

In 1882, he participated in the competition for a monument to Victor Emmanuel II,[2] for which he was awarded a gold medal.
