Biography
Nino Bertoletti (Rome, 1889-Rome, 1971) was a painter, illustrator and decorator. He collaborated with a group of modernist artists who lived in Rome - including Duilio Cambellotti, Umberto Bottazzi and Vittorio Grassi - and who moved around the new magazine "La Casa". Bertoletti published black and white furnishing studies, derived from the extremely simplified style called à plat.
He designed an original children's room - bed, coffee table, chest of drawers, wardrobe - in chestnut or oak wood. The furniture was keyless, with rounded edges and with a carved "four-leaf clover" decoration, and had handles in copper or nickel-plated steel. He then published a frieze for the bathroom, with a swan motif, to be made of majolica tiles. I designed color covers for the magazine "Roma", published as a guide for the fiftieth anniversary of the Kingdom of Italy.
For "La Lettura", the Corriere della Sera magazine, in 1914 he designed black and white covers. At the National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Rome, we may admire his famous painting "Wedding ceremony in Sardinia".
