Luciano Baldessari (1896–1982) was an Italian artist, architect and designer.[1] Baldessari was born on 10 December 1896 in Rovereto, Italy.
In 1913, Baldessari began his career as a visual artist after studying in the Scuola Reale Elisabettiana. He participated in the Futurist movement among contemporaries including Fortunato Depero. In 1919, Baldessari moved to Milan where he studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic; he completed his degree in 1922.[2][3]

During this period, Baldessari designed a number of influential buildings including the Bernocchi Pavilion at the 10th International Fair of Milan and the Craja Bar in Milan (in collaboration with Luigi Figini, and Gino Pollini, Fausto Melotti and Marcello Nizzoli).[2]
