After graduating in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Giancarlo Fassina (Milan, 1935–Milan, 2019) quickly specialized in lighting design. Light was his profession, in all its forms and expressions; therefore, he always paid attention to every detail, from the study of shadows and camera angles to exposure. Throughout his career, he collaborated with several major companies in the lighting sector and created numerous installations for exhibitions and museums. In 1989, together with Michele De Lucchi, he won the Compasso d’Oro award for the design of the Tolomeo lamp by Artemide.
