Domenico (Ico) Parisi (Palermo, 1916 - Como, 1996) moved to Como in 1925. After earning a diploma in 1936, he worked with architect Giuseppe Terragni, meeting key figures in Italian culture. He co-founded Studio Alta Quota and served in WWII, documenting his experience through photography and drawings. Postwar, he collaborated with Luisa Aiani, whom he married in 1947. They opened La Ruota, a center for design and art. Parisi's work blended architecture and visual arts. In the 1970s, he explored existential living concepts. After Luisa’s death in 1990, he continued working until his own death in 1996.
