About the Item

Carlo Rizzarda was famed for his work in wrought iron – balustrades, gates, doors, fences, lamps, chandeliers and furniture. Feltre, his birthplace, is home to the Galleria d’Arte Moderna Carlo Rizzarda, a museum of decorative arts with a unique collection of early-20th-century wrought ironwork. The museum, which opened in 1938, contains an extensive collection of works acquired by Rizzarda to furnish his house in Milan, as well as wrought iron objects made by Rizzarda himself between 1910 and 1930. In 1905 Rizzarda received a scholarship that allowed him to train in wrought ironwork in Milan, where Alessandro Mazzucotelli, a master craftsman specializing in wrought ironwork in the Art Nouveau style, showed him the material’s rich artistic potential. In 1910, following the Exposition universelle de Bruxelles, Rizzarda started his own business. The first time he exhibited his work, at the first Mostra internazionale delle arti decorative, held in Monza in 1923, he achieved great success with objects in a neo-classical and neo-Baroque style as well as pieces in a more rustic and primitive idiom. He went on to work with the leading architects of the time. In 1924 he took part in the Venice Biennale and in 1925 he won the third prize in the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. At the 1927 Mostra Internazionale di arte decorativa in Monza, however, the flamboyant Rizzarda style began to be more critically assessed. Tastes and requirements were changing and the need for rationality and functionality ultimately led to a decline in the popularity of Rizzarda's work in wrought iron.
