Architect
and designer. Born in Sondrio, and graduated in Architecture at the Politecnico
di Milano, he worked in the field of architecture, interiors, graphic
design, set design and applied arts. In 1927 he joined the association
Il Labirinto, founded to Òpromote the spreading of modern decorative arts
in the homeÓ, to which Paolo Venini, Gio Ponti, Carla Visconi di Modrone,
Emilio Lancia and Pietro Chiesa also belonged. From 1932 to 1934 he was
artistic director at Venini & C., for whom he designed a very refined
series of works, characterized by the elegant Novecento styles in lattimo
and opaque turquoise glass with black detailing, as well as clear pieces
with branch-like applications. He also designed vessels and bowls with
unusual colours obtained though the elaboration of traditional techniques.
Among these, his Alba, Laguna and Alga series with their pastel tones
are the result of several successive encasements of the glass, which in
the end is decorated with applications of gold leaf. Buzzi concluded his
experience with glass art and returned to his professional activity, dedicating
himself to painting after World War II.
