In Milan, on Via Pontaccio, there is a small but remarkable Clio Calvi Rudy Volpi gallery, where it is not the first time that we meet unique things. This time - luxury antique furniture Carlo Bugatti. Someone, probably, this name will remind brand of luxury cars. By the way, Asaydora Duncan died behind the wheel of BUGATTI, whose wheel was wound with a deadly long white scarf of a dancer and beloved Sergei Yesenin. Carlo Bugatti created his best things at the turn of the century, when Europe had a many-sided, sophisticated and aesthetic style. In France, it was called Art Nouveau, in Germany - jugend-style in Russia - modern, in Italy - liberty. Strange motifs and materials used by Karlo - the turtle shell and painted parchment paper pasted on a wooden frame, brushes and bronze overlays, brass inlays resembling calligraphic hieroglyphs - despite the exoticism and glaring eclecticism, left a feeling of subtle unity, a spellbinding new taste. In 1900, at the World Exhibition in Paris, Carlo Bugatti was awarded a silver medal, and in 1902 in Turin - an honorary diploma. There he presented to the public a spiral room, which entered the annals of design history. Having passed through a low arched door, a person finds himself in a spiral corridor going downhill, which leads to a round room. The walls of the living room are hung with huge decorative discs. It is furnished with banquettes, chairs called "Cobra", a couch with a large snail head. The interior of Bugatti caused a furore at the exhibition. Having achieved recognition, Carlo soon sells his workshop and moves to Paris. Here he is reforming his business, but now he prefers to work with silver. Bugatti is a talented artistic surname; they even write books about them - at once about everyone. Sister Carlo was engaged in creativity, his second son Rembrandt was a famous animal painter, grandson Jean, like his father Ettore, designed cars. The family knew everything: fame, wealth and terrible misfortunes. The last name Bugatti became a symbol of the inexhaustible creative wealth of fabulous Italy.
