Galileo Chini

Galileo Chini (2 December 1873 - 23 August 1956) was an Italian decorator, designer, painter, and potter.

[1] A prominent member of the Italian Liberty style movement, or Italian Art Nouveau, he taught decorative arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence.

He was responsible for several of the paintings and decorations in the Brandini Chapel at Castelfiorentino, the church of San Francesco de' Ferri in Pisa, and the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Bangkok.

He helped design and decorate rooms in the Palazzo dei Congressi, Salsomaggiore Terme.

Influenced by Gustav Klimt, Chini and Vittorio Zecchin (1878 – 1947) created a number of panels in 1914 for the Venice Hotel Terminus called "La Primavera" and "Mille e una notte".
