Quick Summary

Raimondo D'Aronco was an Italian architect associated with the Stile Floreale, also known as Art Nouveau in Italy. This style, flourishing around the turn of the 20th century, was characterized by sinuous, organic lines and a departure from historical imitation. D'Aronco's work, such as the main building for the Applied Art Exhibition in Turin in 1902, featured decorative exuberance and picturesque qualities. Art Nouveau aimed to create a new style, often blending structure and ornament with a liberal use of materials like ironwork and glass.12
