Ico Parisi

In 1937 he made a photographic study of the Casa del Fascio for the magazine Quadrante, which marked the whole of Parisi's research into "meditating on the legacies and contradictions of the enormous store of ideas and forms constituted by the experience of the masters".

[1] His activity, marked by continuous experimentation, consists in an incessant research in the fields of architecture, art and design.

In 1948 he founded, with his wife Luisa Aiani, planner and designer, the studio La ruota which ceased its activity in 1995.

[1] In 1954 he won the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennial X with the work Padiglione soggiorno, with Silvio Longhi and Luigi Antonietti.

[1] Among the projects he took part in: The Ico and Luisa Collection, stored in the Pinacotheca of the city of Como,[3] includes documents and materials related to Parisi's artistic and architectural works from 1940 to 1990: 1.000 technical drawings and paper studies, 2.500 sketches on tracing paper and 38.000 negatives.
