Arrigo Finzi (La Spezia, 1890 - Milan, 1973) began as a traveling salesman before founding his first silverware workshop in Milan in 1909. Influenced by Futurist architect Antonio Sant’Elia, he co-founded Arrigo Finzi & C. in 1919, restructured as Società Anonima Arrigo Finzi & C. He later launched Metargent (1932), Nuova Argenteria (1934), and, after racial laws in 1938, founded Le Argenterie d’Italia. Postwar, he established Finzi Arte (1954), joined by his daughter Olga. His innovative work in silver and design earned international acclaim and shaped Italian decorative arts.
