Amleto Dalla Costa

Amleto Dalla Costa was an Italian graphic designer, poster artist, painter and photographer, born in 1929. He worked across advertising and visual communication before turning, from the 1970s, towards painting and independent artistic production, and in 1976 he opened the Brera 3 gallery in Milan.

In the 1980s he was among the artists invited by Marazzi to its Crogiolo research laboratory, where, with Roger Capron and Saruka Nagasawa, he experimented with ceramic surfaces for the Sperimentazioni series that later returned in the Crogiolo collections. His work was shown in more than 250 galleries and venues across Europe, the United States and Asia, and a private collection of his late photographic work is published at dallacostaamleto.com.
