Gaetano Pesce was born in 1939 in La Spezia, Italy. He studied architecture at the University of Venice and started working in the sixties, strongly influenced by the social movements of this period.
The work and lessons of the architect Carlo Scarpa and the writer Bruno Zevi were also important to him. His work is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach to
architecture, design and art.
His works are in the most important museums and collections over the world:
the Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. A retrospective of his work was shown in 1996 at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
