Tomaso Buzzi (1900-1981) was exceptionally well versed in culture and literature, defining the 20th century as a garden architect, inventor, restorer, aside from curating the interior design in important historic buildings. He was a Professor of Furnishing Design for Milan’s Politecnico, along with myth Gio Ponti. He was tightly linked to the Novecento Milanese group, including greats such as Muzio, Cabiati, and De Finetti, and had a longstanding, fruitful collaboration with Ponti himself. The relationship spanned architecture, urban planning, design, and writing articles for Ponti’s “Domus”, a prestigious publication founded in 1928 by Ponti.
