The catalog has been published in occasion of the exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The exhibition connected the incredible quality of early twentieth century Italian art with the historical period in which this creative impetus unfolded. Starting with the time of the so-called "Stile Liberty", decorative arts become an important field for experimentation, in which objects developed according to lines that anticipate certain formal solutions found later in the fine arts.
