Alessandro Mazzucotelli

Alessandro Mazzucotelli (Lodi, December 30, 1865 - Milan, January 29, 1938) was an Italian craftsman, particularly known as a master ironworker and decorator. A specialist in wrought iron, Mazzucotelli linked his fame to the decorations of the works of the major exponents of Art Nouveau in Italy and abroad.

Biography A. MazzucotelliWrought iron lamppostvilla Ottolini-Tosi, Busto Arsizio Mazzucotelli was born in Lodi to Giovanni Valente, an iron merchant originally from Locatello di valle Imagna, and Rosa Caprara. At the age of 18 he moved to Milan as an apprentice with his brother Carlo in the blacksmith store of Defendente Oriani, which he later took over in 1891. From 1902 to 1908 the company running the shop was called Mazzucotelli-Engelmann; later he worked alone, first in via Ponchielli and then in 1909 at Bicocca.

Mazzucotelli collaborated with architects such as Enrico Zanoni, Giuseppe Sommaruga, Gaetano Moretti, Ernesto Pirovano, Franco Oliva, Ulisse Stacchini and Silvio Gambini.

In his early years he was influenced by the painter Giovanni Beltrami who founded the largest Milanese glassworks dedicated to Art Nouveau.

The City of Milan has named the street Alessandro Mazzucotelli near Viale Forlanini, in the eastern suburbs of the city, after the artist.
