about melchiorre bega
melchiorre bega (1898 - 1976) was an architect and designer, graduated from the academy of fine arts in bologna. While always maintaining close relations with the city of bologna, it is in milan that he fulfills the entire artistic parable.
together with his brothers he founded the company 'vittorio bega & figli' in bologna which is thus described in the volume 'artistic industries and artisan workshops in bologna', 1928: "\. In which bologna has an important factory since its most varied applications of artistic woodworking, from carving to inlay. The peculiar character of the company's work, conceived and executed under the expert guidance of one of the brothers - the architect m. Bega - is that of an elegant modern line and design. The works are carried out completely, and not only for the furniture part, but also for the more general part of the furniture. They are grandiose works carried out not only in bologna, but in every part of italy. Especially however the capital has seen luxurious hotels, grandiose cafes, theaters, palaces and recently the royal opera house decorated by the bega firm ". From 1941 to 1944 he was director of the magazine 'domus'. In 1959 the 'galfa' office tower in milan, while a little later is the torre san vincenzo in genoa, designed together with piero gambacciani and attilio viziano.
